Mission:To enhance and promote overall quality of life in and around the Acadian region. Vision: The Acadiana RC&D Council's vision is to address the social, environmental and economical concerns of South Central Louisiana. Its primary focus is on the conservation, development and utilization of natural resources. The Resource Conservation and Development Program (RC&D) is a voluntary program that helps people protect and develop their economic, natural, and social resources. The program is administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), in cooperation with other USDA agencies. RC&D objectives focus on improving the quality of life of residents in designated regions. The RC&D program unites people at a grass-roots level, relying on volunteers and civic leaders to revitalize and build communities through cooperative projects.

Coastal and Marine Geology Program - U.S. Geological Survey
More Information
Changes within the coastal and marine environment, whether naturally occurring or human induced, can endanger our quality of life, threaten property, pose risk to fragile environments, and affect livelihoods. Catastrophic events such as hurricanes, earthquakes, landslides, and tsunamis cost the Nation more than $30 billion per year and have serious economic consequences for coastal communities. Wetland loss increases the threat of flooding, decreases water quality, and threatens wildlife. Degraded sea-floor and coastal habitats are failing to support fisheries. Coastal and offshore aquifers are subject to seawater intrusion and nutrient contamination. The coastal oceans have become a repository for sewage, chemicals, and toxics dumped or discharged offshore, or brought downstream by rivers.
A The management challenge faced by all coastal communities is to balance the competing needs of citizens, government, industry, and the environment.

Louisiana Coastal Area Homepage
More Information
Louisiana's abundant cypress swamps offer beautiful vistas and provide important habitat for many species of fish and wildlife including bald eagles. Similar to other marsh and swamp habitats in the Louisiana coastal zone, cypress forests are disappearing because of factors such as subsidence, hydrologic alteration, and development pressures such as road construction, flood protection and logging. Cypress trees are long-lived species that grow and regenerate very slowly. Some of the restoration efforts in the LCA Plan are focused on swamp health to improve the quantity and quality of these special wetland forests.
