More Information
The Louisiana Coastal Area (LCA) Ecosystem Restoration Plan was established to reverse the degradation trend of the Louisiana coastal ecosystem. The LCA Plan emphasizes the use of restoration strategies towards achieving and sustaining a coastal ecosystem that can support and protect the environment, economy, and culture of southern Louisiana. The LCA study area, which includes the Louisiana coastal area from Mississippi to Texas, is comprised of two wetland-dominated ecosystems, the Deltaic Plain of the Mississippi River and the closely linked Chenier Plain, both of which are influenced by the Mississippi River.
Lousiana Coastal Area (LCA) - Science & Technology Program
More Information
A Science and Technology (S&T) Program has been executed as a partnership between the State of Louisiana, the US Army Corps of Engineers, the US Geological Survey, and other Federal agencies for the purpose of improving LCA program performance through application of the best available science, technology and engineering. The S&T Program supports the LCA Ecosystem Restoration Plan by:
Providing the necessary science and technology to effectively address coastal ecosystem restoration needs
Providing analytical tools and recommendations to the Program Management Team for appropriate studies to reduce uncertainties
Integrating the roles and resources of the scientific community and other coastal protection agencies and partners at the state, local, and Federal level
Providing for internal and external technical review and a systematic approach for coordination with other ongoing and planned related research activities
