We need your help.

Louisiana’s coast is disappearing. These wetlands are critical to our economy, environment and way of life. For instance, many of the busiest ports in the country are in Louisiana. Louisiana harvests more oysters, shrimp, crawfish and crabs than any other state. And coastal wetlands provide natural hurricane protection for millions of people.

Louisiana’s coast is also the beating heart of the state’s vibrant and diverse cultures. If you’ve ever been to Jazz Fest or Mardi Gras, watched a swamp-themed reality show, eaten a softshell crab, danced till dawn to zydeco, sucked the heads at a crawfish boil or slurped an oyster on the half shell, Louisiana’s coast is important to you, too.

The coastal city of New Orleans, vibrant, spirited and culturally rich, is a world-class destination. It is proud to host Super Bowl LIX. But like the rest of south Louisiana, New Orleans is at risk because of land loss. To safeguard its future, coastal wetlands must be restored.

That’s where you come in. You can be part of the movement to slow coastal land loss by supporting the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana. We want you on our team.

Whether you live in Louisiana or elsewhere around the world, you can make a difference. Your support of CRCL helps us lead the charge by building volunteer-fueled restoration projects such as recycled oyster shell reefs; advocating for large-scale, science-based restoration and protection; and planting trees and grasses all along Louisiana’s coast. CRCL’s work is making a difference, but we can’t do it without support from people like you.

Here’s how you can help and why it matters.
