About the Mississippi River Delta Campaign
The Mississippi River Delta Campaign is a multi-organizational campaign to build support for the restoration of coastal Louisiana and ensure the resiliency of its coastal communities. It aims to restore the natural land-building process of the delta ecosystem while simultaneously ensuring a vibrant, sustainable, and healthy future for the area’s communities, culture, and economy. Our recent campaigns include working to close the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, restoring a 30,000 acre wetland adjacent to communities devastated by Hurricane Katrina, and building land in the deteriorated Barataria Basin. This work is supported by a diverse staff of policy and legal experts, PhD scientists, community advocates and organizers, and economists. The campaign is run in coordination with local stakeholder groups and other national organizations, such as The National Wildlife Federation, National Audubon Society.
