Comprehensive Recommendations Supporting the Use of the Multiple Lines of Defense Strategy to Sustain Coastal Louisiana
A Report from the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana and the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation, the Multiple Lines of Defense Strategy is a methodology to design flood control and wetland restoration in coastal Louisiana.  The strategy works on the well-founded premise that coastal Louisiana must be protected from hurricane surge by both man-made features, such as levees, and by the natural coastal wetland buffer along the Louisiana coast.  Levees alone will not work. Together, a healthy coastal estuary and appropriately designed levees system can sustain Louisiana’s ecology and economy of the coast.
