Why have a Coastal Sustainability Agenda?

Coastal Louisiana is a landscape of rich natural resources and extensive human settlements set in an extremely dynamic environment.

Stakeholders, politicians, and scientists all agree that comprehensive regional planning must integrate economic development, protection, and restoration.

We cannot afford to let the uncertainties of complex systems limit the effectiveness of our steps toward remediation of this vast and valuable environment.

The LSU Coastal Sustainability Agenda describes our leadership in promoting integrated scholarship, research, and education as part of our LSU Flagship Agenda.
