Participate in Public Meetings
Public meetings and activities keep you informed and allow you to take part in Louisiana’s coastal restoration activities.

Whether you want to attend a CWPPRA Task Force meetings, parish Coastal Zone Management meetings, or coastal conferences; the LUCC Calendar can help keep you informed about ways that you as a citizen can have your voice heard in issues related to Louisiana wetlands.

The CWPPRA Legislation
The Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act, (CWPPRA pronounced kwǐp-rŭh), is federal legislation enacted in 1990 that is designed to identify, prepare, and fund construction of coastal wetlands restoration projects. Since its inception, 210 coastal restoration or protection projects have been authorized, benefiting approximately 100,000 acres in Louisiana. The legislation (Public Law 101-646, Title III CWPPRA) was approved by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by former President George H. W. Bush.
