BATON ROUGE, La. – Louisianans have the opportunity to learn about the state’s 2023 Coastal Master Plan to protect and restore our coast at a series of upcoming outreach meetings hosted by the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA).

The goal of these meetings is to reintroduce CPRA, the master plan, and the master plan process to Louisianans and set the stage for additional meetings later this year. CPRA will share information about the future of our coast, the challenges we face, and the opportunities/tools we have to address those challenges, as well as report out on recent/current project implementation in the area.
