We need your help.

We need your help. A committee in the Louisiana House of Representatives recently passed a spending bill with an amendment that stripped $117 million previously allocated to the State’s Coastal Trust Fund. With those dollars, the state planned to help fund thirteen coastal restoration and protection projects across the coast, including the West Shore Lake Pontchartrain Levee Project and other protection projects in Terrebonne, Vermillion and Cameron Parishes, and a number of restoration projects, such as the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion.

There is still a chance to turn this around! While this bill passed committee, it still has to go to the House floor for debate and a vote.

Contact your representative TODAY and tell them to put the $117m back into the coastal trust fund!

Time and again, Louisiana voters have made it clear that they want elected officials to prioritize coastal restoration and protection and protect coastal funding. We know how important the coast is to our protection and our future. We know investing in the coast is a job-creating and cost-saving investment in the well-being of Louisiana. Our legislature owes it to the people of Louisiana, who have been through too many disasters, to protect coastal funding and prevent our people from experiencing the worst impacts of future disasters.

Stand up for our coast
