Coastal communities nationwide are ramping up efforts to restore and protect their shorelines as climate change causes more intense and destructive storms and leads to sea-level rise that puts tens of millions of people at risk. Louisiana officials canceled a $3 billion project to divert sediment-laden water from the Mississippi River to rebuild part of its coast. But many other projects are underway there and around the country to restore barrier islands, saltwater marshes, shellfish reefs and other natural features that provided protection before they were destroyed by development, industry and efforts to control waterways.
