COASTAL EROSION AND FLOOD CONTROL


The implementation of a plan to restore and preserve our Louisiana delta and coastline has had no political resolve prior to Katrina. The storm brought the spotlight to the consequence of coastline instability, and the political will to implement a plan is now at its highest. The discipline to maintain commitment to coastal restoration must resist short term political expedience. If our coastline continues to disappear, we risk constant hurricane storm surge, economic disaster to all levee protected communities, and an ecological nightmare to our fisheries and wildlife resources. As a State Representative, I will maintain the political resolve and commitment to protect our coast.
