Louisiana loses
a football field of
wetlands every hour!
r
oughly two thousand square miles of Louisiana’s coast have
been lost in less than a century. That’s the size of the state of
Delaware.
The catastrophic loss of valuable
barrier islands and coastal wetlands
is a national crisis that threatens the
safety of coastal communities and
the viability of major industries.
But experts say the coast can
be protected and restored, that
coastal restoration projects have
built land, however, much more
needs to be done.
The WYES RESHAPING A
GREATER NEW ORLEANS:
REBUILDING OUR COAST web
project takes you to the barrier
islands and marshes of south
Louisiana and provides the
chance to learn first-hand from
the policy makers and citizen
activists who are working to save
the coast.
It took Nature thousands of years to build the Louisiana coast. In
less than one hundred years, much of the coast has disappeared.
Aggressive action is needed now.
Learn more about the Louisiana coastal crisis and how you can
have a role in REBUILDING OUR COAST.

FREEDOM RIDERS “Freedom Riders” is
the powerful harrowing and ultimately
inspirational story of six months in 1961
that changed America forever. From
May until November 1961, more than
400 black and white Americans risked
their lives—and many endured savage
beatings and imprisonment—for simply
traveling together on buses and trains as
they journeyed through the Deep South.
Deliberately violating Jim Crow laws, the
Freedom Riders met with bitter racism
and mob violence along the way, sorely
testing their belief in nonviolent activism.
