Saving Louisiana? The Battle for Coastal Wetlands

Objectively look at the ecological turmoil of citizens in scientists, oil companies and coastal conflicts.

Seawater flooded coastal areas of Louisiana and converted valuable wetlands into the backwater of the Gulf of Mexico. Science may be the key to reversing this problem. But how much is the cost? Is the plan valid? Are these embarrassing situations to save Louisiana's report? Coastal wetland battle

Without a doubt, the most ambitious ecosystem management and recovery plan ever created has been sought to save the coast of Louisiana at a price of $ 14 billion. How does science contribute to relief?

Can you save Louisiana from the old river management structure of the Mississippi River to the Gulf oil field pipeline canal, Baton Rouge parliament? Following scientists, environmentalist, and politicians, they are always asking the same question: Can the coastline of Louisiana be saved? For some experts technical uncertainty interferes with progress and for other experts bureaucracy and special interest hinder the way they think they are right. Some people think that it is a real challenge to decide what society really wants, so that ecosystem recovery is a balance between dollar and choice.

Louisiana? Let's build a story of suspicion and discord and capture technology and human drama for ecosystem recovery and management. Those interested in a large ecosystem restoration project in Florida's Everglades, Chesapeake Bay, Puget Sound, and elsewhere will feel Louisiana's quagmas are persuasive and eye-catching.

Efforts said that science itself could not rescue Louisiana wetlands and pay attention to many proposals and disputes at national wetlands and bays and thank it.

Bill Streever was a research biologist at Eagle River, Alaska, working at Waterways Experimental Station (Wetland Division) in Vicksburg, Miss. He is the author of "Bring Back to the Wetlands" (1999) and his work is published in magazines like Wetlands, Environmental Management Journal, Estuary, Midland Naturalists.

Coastal wetlands in Louisiana are worth sustaining. Wetlands not only offer buffer zones for hurricane storm surges but also provide employment opportunities for commercial fishermen. Thousands of animals and trees live in these wetlands, some of which are protected by the federal government. The serious loss of Louisiana wetlands is an increasingly serious problem that continues to grow at an astonishing rate if measures are not taken as soon as possible. The wetlands of Louisiana play an important role in protecting the residents of Louisiana. These wetlands need protection and should now be protected to save the future of Louisiana
