🌱 Introducing Defend the Delta

Want to better understand how decisions about Louisiana’s future are made and learn how you can have a voice in the process?

Join us this fall for Defend the Delta, a three-part legislative engagement workshop series hosted by Restore the Mississippi River Delta and partners. We’ll break down Louisiana’s legislative and coastal planning processes and give you practical tools to become a more informed and engaged advocate for our coast.

Session 1: How the State Legislature Works
September 9
Co-hosted by Worthwhile
We’ll walk through how a bill moves through the Louisiana Legislature, when and why legislative session happens, and where you can plug in. We’ll even follow a real bill through the process and share practical ways to get engaged.

Session 2: Deep Dive on Coastal
October 14
Learn how Louisiana’s coastal planning process works, where the Legislature fits in, and how you can participate in shaping the coast’s future.

Session 3: Put It Into Practice
November 18
Get practical tips for writing effective comments, contacting your legislators, and turning what you’ve learned into action.

Let’s make one thing clear - Louisiana is in MORE danger without sediment diversions.

Always happy to highlight this important project! The River Reintroduction in Maurepas Swamp project will revive one of the most important swamps in the U.S. using the power of the Mississippi River, and more projects like these are needed on our coast!

Reconnect the Maurepas Swamp!

The river is our greatest resource when it comes to restoring coastal Louisiana, and we should be taking advantage of and harnessing its power - using sediment diversions.

On World Nature Conservation Day, we’re celebrating the natural systems that protect and sustain us every day.

Louisiana’s wetlands help reduce storm impacts, provide habitat for wildlife, support fisheries, and strengthen the communities that call our coast home. But these vital ecosystems continue to disappear.

By restoring the Mississippi River Delta, we’re investing in nature-based solutions that make our coast more resilient for generations to come.

Together, we can leave a stronger, healthier coast for generations to come.

We had the honor this past weekend of showing Uncle Pappy 🌴 around some very special spots on Louisiana’s coast. Louisiana was a no-brainer stop for him on his Great American Water Road Trip, and our team and captains took him to see the MRGO, the Lake Borgne Surge Barrier and Neptune Pass. Keep an eye out for his video later this week and make sure you check out the link in our bio for a chance to win his road trip van, a river rafting trip and some Ticketmaster vouchers!

Special thanks to UNITED BY NATURE for helping to make this happen!

A year ago today, the State of Louisiana officially canceled the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion.

That decision may have marked a major setback, but it didn’t change the science or the urgency of our coastal crisis.

Louisiana continues to lose wetlands that protect our communities, support wildlife and fuel our economy. That’s why we’ll keep working alongside partners, scientists and coastal advocates to champion solutions that reconnect the Mississippi River with the wetlands it built.

Because Louisiana’s coast is worth fighting for. 🌱
