Answer 3

The loss of Louisiana’s coastal wetlands is one of the most serious environmental problems facing the country today. Louisiana boasts more than 4 million acres of wetlands, representing 40% of the nation’s total. These wetlands are among the world’s most diverse and productive ecosystems.

Presently, Louisiana's wetlands are in a state of rapid degradation. 80% of the nation’s coastal land loss occurs in Louisiana. The state loses 25-35 square miles, or 25,000 acres, per year, the equivalent of one football field every 15 minutes. These losses are not only environmental and aesthetic, but commercial. Projected losses to the fishing industry by the year 2050 as a result of coastal land loss are a staggering $37 billion.
