MASTER PLAN OBJECTIVES

Flood Protection Reduce economic losses from storm-based flooding Natural Processes Promote a sustainable coastal ecosystem by harnessing the processes of the natural system Coastal Habitats Provide habitats suitable to support an array of commercial and recreational activities coast wide Cultural Heritage Sustain Louisiana’s unique heritage and culture Working Coast Provide a viable working coast to support industry
