America's Wetland Foundation Issues Progress Report on Louisiana Coastal Restoration Effort
America's Wetland Foundation issued a Progress Report for the period 2002-2009 on Thursday November 20, 2008. The report speaks of the Foundation's efforts to attract broad public support and bipartisan political support for Louisiana coastal restoration efforts. A noted achievement in the period has been the passage of federal legislation providing oil and gas revenue to Louisiana that can be used for the coastal restoration effort. The Foundation now expresses its desire to get other Gulf coast states involved in the effort to protect the Gulf of Mexico coastal area.
America's Wetland Foundation is an important consensus building effort that has created almost unanimous support among government agencies, business interests and environmental groups toward efforts to restore coastal Louisiana. That in itself is a noteworthy achievement. Please keep it up!
