		The Mississippi River is the largest river in North America, while the Atchafalaya is a distributary of the Mississippi, carrying a third of its flow, plus that of the Red River.
		One of the most important proposals put forward for doing this, is to divert large volumes of the flow of the Mississippi River through existing coastal wetlands and estuaries in Louisiana, and to also use this approach to build new wetlands on the Louisiana coast, which are predicted to also remove and/or transform additional nutrients.
		Similarly, the action plan includes an even larger proposal to restore and create millions of acres of wetlands and riparian vegetated zones in the Mississippi River watershed, from the edges of farm fields, to small ditches and streams, to the historic floodplain of the Mississippi Rive itself.
