Mississippiriverdelta.org is a coalition of Environmental Defense Fund, National Audubon Society, the National Wildlife Federation, Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, and Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation. Each of these entities is working together to rebuild coastal Louisiana’s nationally-significant landscape to protect people, wildlife, and jobs.

One of the latest projects, the Mid-Breton Sediment Diversion, which will be located along the east bank of the Mississippi River, plans to reconnect the area with the river and divert sediment and fresh water which will build new land and sustain the existing marsh.
