What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Communities in Southwest Louisiana are facing threats due to ongoing coastal erosion. Michael Hare, executive director of the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, warned that the high rate of erosion and loss of interior marsh in Sabine poses an existential threat to the region’s way of life. He stated that addressing this requires a sustained level of investment to accelerate work along the Gulf shoreline, the interior, the port, and the ship channel.
