About this listen

On July 17, the state officially canceled the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion project - the biggest coastal restoration project in the country, made possibly by funds from a settlement of the 2010 BP Oil Spill. This week, Pontchartrain Conservancy Executive Director Kristi Trail answers the question as to why the project was cancelled and what many believe this means for the preservation of our state at a whole.


Trail urges those interested in attending meetings, submitting their own plans and more visit the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority website.
