Restoring the Louisiana coastline is critical – and complex. But thanks to planning, engineering, and people who care, the state has major efforts underway to do just that. Steve Mathies, our global practice leader for coastal restoration, is part of this conversation and shares some key insights in the latest episode of PBS New Orleans' "Challenges and Opportunities: Restoring the Louisiana Coast."

Louisiana faces severe coastal erosion and land loss, making coastal restoration a critical challenge. One of the innovative solutions is the $2.9 billion Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion project, which aims to restore about 20 square miles of wetlands and land. In this episode, Brad Barth, Diversions Program Manager from the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority of Louisiana, discusses this massive engineering feat, which aims to harness the Mississippi River's natural sediment flow to rebuild the coast. Barth explains the multiple factors contributing to coastal erosion and how this project integrates with other restoration efforts. He details the design and functionality of the sediment diversion, highlighting its role in delivering sediment and nutrients to sustain marshlands. Additionally, Barth shares insights into the broader strategy of using nature-based solutions, such as barrier island reconstruction and marsh creation, to protect and restore Louisiana's coast.

Thanks to the #inflationreductionact, the Bureau of Land Management has funding to implement meaningful and effective #habitatrestoration projects on #publicland. In Wyoming, we are putting those dollars to work in the Upper Green River Basin. Learn more about how this project is inspired by nature's engineer, the beaver, in the video.

This topic has broader impact than may be noticed at first glance. The environmental impacts of ports applies beyond seaports but also airports, railyards and truck depots - places of connection where different modes of transportation meet.
