U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy announced that Louisiana will receive $13,090,906.54 for coastal resilience efforts. This funding is provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in partnership with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF). The funds are sourced from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) through the National Coastal Resilience Fund (NCRF).

"Investing in Louisiana’s coastline is crucial to building resiliency against future storms and preserving our way of life," stated Dr. Cassidy. "Because I had a seat at the table for the Infrastructure Law, there are dollars coming to Louisiana to protect and preserve our coast."
