In 2015, in honor of the Hurricane Katrina, Build-a-Thon was held in New Orleans. The UN Habitat has launched a special program to restore housing in the affected areas of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita. The focus of this work is to back up local branches in the area and prepare to build for that area. It is also a catalyst for other organizations like the St. Bernard Project, where companies and governments have helped and support the reconstruction of the region, and is widely noticed from national media. Habitat has recovered about 300 families due to Hurricane Katrina's efforts

Coastal meadows, wetlands, and wetlands are the rarest habitat of the Gulf Coast of Mexico.

Marine habitats are divided into coastal and open marine habitats. Coastal habitats range from the coastline to the edge of the continental shelf. The shelf area is only 7% of the total area, but most marine organisms exist in coastal habitats. The habitat of the open ocean was in the deep ocean beyond the edge of the continental shelf. Alternatively, the marine habitat is divided into a marine habitat and a benthic habitat. The habitat of plankton is near the ground surface or in the seawater away from the ocean floor, it is influenced by the ocean current, but the habitat of the bottom is at the bottom or the bottom. Marine habitats can be changed by residents. Some marine organisms such as coral, kelp, seaweed, etc. have ecosystem engineers who rebuild the marine environment and create further habitat for other creatures.
