	Coastal Louisiana
		Geologically, the Louisiana coast consists of an eastern deltaic system and associated barrier islands built by the Mississippi River, and a geologically distinct Chenier Plain to the west, which is named for the linear, oak-dominated ridges that parallel this part of the coast (chenier is the French word for oak).
		The net result of a series of overlapping delta lobes is a row of estuaries from east to west along the coast, each bounded on the east and west by the natural levees of old distributaries and on the seaward edge by a barrier headland or island system.
		Vegetation on the Louisiana coastal islands is generally similar to that found on barrier islands of the south Atlantic coast and the rest of the Gulf of Mexico coast (Stalter and Odum 1993), except that sea oats, which dominate those areas, are replaced by wire-grass in Louisiana (Barbour et al.

	USGS Fact Sheet: Louisiana Coastal Wetlands (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		As each delta lobe was abandoned by the river, its main source of sediment, the deltas experienced erosion and degradation due to compaction of loose sediment, rise in relative sea level, and catastrophic storms.
		Louisiana's barrier islands are eroding, however, at a rate of up to 20 meters per year; so fast that, according to recent USGS estimates, several will disappear by the end of the century.
		As the barrier islands disintegrate, the vast system of sheltered wetlands along Louisiana's delta plains are exposed to the full force and effects of open marine processes such as wave action, salinity intrusion, storm surge, tidal currents, and sediment transport that combine to accelerate wetlands deterioration.

	Saving Louisiana's Delta, by Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, Global Issues April 2004
		Louisiana's wetland accepts the drainage of two-thirds of the United States through the Mississippi River, along with high concentrations of nitrogen from agricultural runoff.
		Our delta is the natural nursery ground for much of the country's seafood, with 95 percent of all marine life in the Gulf of Mexico spending part of its life cycle in these coastal wetlands.
		The Louisiana delta is a prolific area that is of vital importance to the nation and the world, yet few people are aware of the benefits of the ecosystem or of what is at stake if we continue to lose ground.

	23/5/2003 -- Delta blues: Louisiana's coast has eroded faster than previously thought
		NEW ORLEANS — The erosion of Louisiana's fragile coast is even worse than previously thought, and one-third of the state's shoreline — home to the fabled Mississippi River Delta — could be wiped out by 2050 without urgent action, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
		Over the next 50 years, an additional 700 square miles of coastline are expected to be washed away, meaning one-third of the Louisiana coast could be gone by 2050 unless new Mississippi River sediment is diverted to swamps and marshes, the USGS said.
		Louisiana represents about 90 percent of coastal wetlands loss in the lower 48 states, it said.

		The distance from the southern tip of the delta to the Port of New Orleans is 90 miles (144 kilometers).
