Land loss not just affects me, it affects everyone who lives in the coastal zone. It affects everyone who’s part of the United States. Land loss is super important to all of us because of the wonderful resources that we have here in Louisiana.
I think we’re on the right track for what we’re doing related to land loss. We have much more to do, but we’re on the right track. Louisiana is actually one of the leaders in coastal restoration, not only in the nation, but in the world. We probably have a larger budget for coastal restoration than any— for sure, any other state. So we’re heading in the right direction, but we need to be sure that we continue that mission and let other people know that we’ve lost land equal to the state of Delaware.
