Coastal Area Draft Study Report Released The Louisiana Coastal Area (LCA) draft ecosystem restoration plan study report has been released. The public comment period of the report ran from July 9-August 23rd, 2004. The report represents an effort to prepare a comprehensive plan for coastwide ecosystem restoration to present to Congress for "programmatic approval". The plan is a more in-depth, follow-on plan to the Coast 2050 Plan, adopted in 1998. It is estimated that 320,000 net acre of coastal wetlands will be lost by 2050, some by natural causes but the vast majority by man's affect on Louisiana coastal environment. Links to the current LCA draft plan, the Coast 2050 plan and land change maps in the draft LCA plan are given below.
