NOAA Panel Publishes Report on Freshwater Diversions – Read CRCL’s Summary Here

The importance of the Mississippi River to our coast can be seen in the shape of Louisiana itself. The river built southeast Louisiana through centuries of moving freshwater and sediment to the coast. Now, seeking to address decades of coastal land loss, state authorities hope to harness the Mississippi River’s land-building power in the form of diversions, a centerpiece of Louisiana’s coastal restoration strategy. Is it possible to predict how these diversions will work from the performance of freshwater diversions that already exist along the lower Mississippi River? A recent NOAA-led scientific panel of marsh restoration experts published a report on the effects of these freshwater diversions. Read CRCL’s summary of that report (here).
