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.

We left the wetlands of South Louisiana and traveled to see the Columbia Wetlands of British Columbia. This RAMSAR wetland of international importance is a recognized site that encompasses 41,000 acres of inland ecologically sensitive wetlands. Home to 240 plus bird species and the Pacific flyway. Numerous species of animals inhabit the wetlands there too. They share similar challenges with habitat loss like we have here. Working together to protect the world’s wetlands for future generations. Sharing knowledge. Finding solutions to those challenges.
