A bird’s eye view of what’s been lost. And what could be.

Louisiana is at the forefront of confronting multi-faceted challenges due to coastal land-loss and climate change. These challenges include loss of culture and economy for humans as well as loss of ecosystem functions and habitats for the socio-ecological system. 

Louisiana is confronting multi-faceted challenges due to coastal land-loss and climate change. The Restore the Mississippi River Delta (MRD) -- a consortium of five nonprofit organizations with a shared goal of restoration of coastal Louisiana -- identified 17 projects to best mitigate and adapt to these challenges in the near term.

Healthy oceans help sustain the planet, feed the world, alleviate poverty and support fishers and their communities, even in the face of climate change. EDF works with partners worldwide to strengthen and preserve the health of oceans and the fisheries reliant on them.

As California faces an unpredictable water future, policy makers and water managers across the state are seeking solutions to build resilience into our water supply system. Groundwater recharge is an excellent tool to replenish depleted aquifers and bank water for future use. In addition to helping water managers balance their water budget, groundwater recharge also provides an opportunity to create habitat for wildlife. This guide highlights recharge basin management strategies that create wildlife habitat and provide operational benefits to basin managers.

Restoring natural infrastructure offers much promise as a means to reduce both flood hazard and exposure to complement and supplement other flood damage reduction strategies.
