Lousiana’s master coast plan

 Louisiana is working to rebuild its coast line with  its $50 billion Master Coast Plan. This plan includes a “$2.92 billion project to divert sediment from the Mississippi River into the basin, mimicking the natural processes of the river’s flow in an attempt to save the state’s disappearing coast.” The plan includes working with fisheries,  oyster farmers, and shrimpers to not impact their businesses.
