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.

It’s one of our favorite days of the year. The students come and visit. Asking wonderful questions about our coast and wetlands. It’s pretty special to be invited each year by our friends at ConocoPhillips and Ducks Unlimited. Collaborations like this are critical to protecting our coast.
