In the past 50 years, more than
1,500 square miles of coastal Louisiana have vanished. Without immediate and decisive ac�on, Louisiana stands to lose an addi�onal 1,000 square miles of land, an area the size of Rhode Island, by the year 2050.
As this landscape disappears, we lose our communities, our culture, our economic security and our future For 35 years, CRCL has worked to
guide the restora�on of our coast through policies we have championed, plans we have helped mold and outreach to help residents adapt to our changing world. Recognizing that Louisiana’s coastal land loss has drama�c impacts on the na�on’s energy, naviga�on and fisheries interests, CRCL also works at the state, local and federal levels to ensure that restoring and protec�ng coastal Louisiana is a top priority for our state and the na�on.
Together, we can defend our coast
