Restore or Retreat

Restore or Retreat The birth of Restore or Retreat, Inc.

(ROR) brought landowners, port commissions, parish governments, restoration advocates, levee experts, business owners and residents together for one purpose: to save our irreplaceable region. From our inception in 2000, ROR has advocated for such projects as freshwater and sediment diversions into the Barataria and Terrebonne Basins, marsh creation, shoreline restoration, and barrier island, just

to name a few. And through it all, we have called for heightened federal and sate attention to the Barataria and Terrebonne Basins though several different planning processes, including the State Master Plan and post-spill planning efforts like RESTORE Act and the Natural Resource Damage Assessment Process.

John and our project coordinator both love these skimmers. Graceful in the air their numbers declining Gulf wide. Thanks John for capturing their beauty!
