This is one of the few places on Earth where land is still being created. 🌍 The Mississippi River Delta formed as the river slowed near the Gulf, dropping layers of sediment that built wetlands, marshes, and new ground over thousands of years. These lands protect coastlines, support fisheries, and sustain entire communities. But when the river was leveed and controlled, that natural land-building slowed—and the delta began to disappear. What once grew steadily is now shrinking, showing how clos

The Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion is the largest ecosystem restoration project in U.S. history, and will combat the major climate impacts facing Louisiana’s rapidly vanishing coastline. The project can be a template for communities around the globe to reclaim and rebuild coastal habitats. Sign up to support the innovative and adaptive work happening to fight climate change on the coast. | Restore the Mississippi River Delta

📏The size of the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion matters: A 75,000 cfs diversion will capture 9x more sediment than a 15,000 cfs diversion. And that’s sediment we desperately need! 🌱 Modeling from the 2012 Coastal Master Plan found that multiple small diversions would be less effective than one large diversion. Not using diversions at all would reduce land-building by over 300 square miles. And contrary to some claims, the river absolutely carries enough sediment to build new land - just look
