Ten years ago, Hurricane Katrina devastated the Mississippi River Delta, home to one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet, a vital fishing industry and a booming port complex. Even before the storm, the Delta’s vast wetlands had been vanishing for decades. But there is hope for the future.
Learn more about the winners of the Changing Course competition, which challenged the world’s top experts to create innovative plans for rebuilding the Delta’s wetlands. Hear how EDF is working with local partners to turn these visions into reality.
Featuring:
