Why GIve?
Since 1988, the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana has helped lead the fight to protect and restore our coastal wetlands. With the help of donors like you, we have recycled over 12.7 million pounds of oyster shell and built 8,000 feet of living shoreline. We have also restored more than 4,500 acres of wetlands, planting trees and grasses to anchor fragile soil across the state.
Meet our Restoration Krewe
CRCL’s restoration krewe are a small but mighty team that works to restore Louisiana’s coast by hosting volunteer events through our Native Plants Program and the Oyster Shell Recycling Program.

Coastal Adventures Coordinator
My favorite part of the job is of course the volunteer events! I love being out in the field getting dirty and feeling connected to our wetlands, as it is an environment that many New Orleanians never get to fully experience. Learn more about Sofia.
Native Plants Program Coordinator
I was lucky to grow up with parents that forced me out the door. Spending many hours outdoors playing with my friends instilled a deep connection to the natural world. When I later learned about all of the damage being inflicted on to the environment, it only made sense for me to put energy into healing it. Learn more about Gardner.
