The MRGO Ecosystem Restoration Draft Environmental Impact Statement and Feasibility Study are currently on public notice. The MRGO Must Go Coalition, a partnership of 17 local and national organizations, including Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, have prepared Recommendations for Restoring MRGO Ecosystem. The MRGO Must Go Coalition’s goal is to ensure that the Feasibility Study ultimately presents a sustainable restoration plan that (1) is based on sound science and well-accepted principles of coastal restoration; (2) meets community needs and priorities; and (3) is realistic and affordable and can win Congressional funding support.
