Synopsis
Louisiana, home to 40 percent of all coastal wetlands in the lower 48 states, is projected to lose almost 17 square miles of coastline each year for the next 50 years to storms, sea level rise, and land subsidence. Coastal wetlands are an important wildlife and commercial resource, and provide a natural buffer against the storm surge that accompanies storms and hurricanes. The Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) established a program in 1990 that undertakes projects to stem coastal wetland losses. Recently, the Congress passed other measures that will make billions in new funding available for coastal Louisiana over the next 20 years. GAO has prepared this report under the Comptroller General's authority as part of a continued effort to assist the Congress. GAO reviewed the CWPPRA program to identify the (1) types of projects that have been designed and constructed to restore and protect coastal wetlands, as well as their estimated costs and benefits, and (2) lessons learned from past and ongoing restoration efforts that can help guide future efforts. GAO's review included interviews with each program agency. This review emphasises the need for agencies to carefully from two agencies which have been incorporated as appropriate. This is an excerpted and indexed version. consider the lessons learned from the CWPPRA program as they propose significantly larger efforts to restore Louisiana's coast. GAO received technical comments

- s***j (1273)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseG.D. Pickering's books are one of those that you can't put down until you finish it! Lots of accounts from readers about their OWN encounters. These books are addicting, so if you're like me, and cannot wait until another one ships, I suggest buy a few at a time then, a few more, etc.... If you're undecided, buy just 1. You won't regret it
