| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the damage incurred by the Gulf Coast due to hurricanes Katrina and Rita, as well as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill (known as the BP oil spill). Explains that "'with Katrina and Rita, we lost over 200 square miles [of landmass] over a two-day period...Another large chunk will be lost [due] to the BP oil spill.'" Details the role of the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL) in restoring the coastline, mentioning their long-term goals as "reintroducting the sediments and fresh water required of wetlands ecosystems now being flushed into the Gulf and over the continental shelf due largely to manmade levees constructed to prevent flooding of the Mississippi River." Provides a description on the use of Gulf Saver Bags: "a package of native marsh grasses with its own supply of totally natural nutrients and billions of oil eating microorganisms to support, feed, and protect the marsh grasses." |
