Louisiana's Coast Is Retreating Inland Fast
- "The more than three-million-acre expanse of coastal marsh, cypress swamp and barrier islands that forms the coast of Louisiana-the largest contiguous wetland system in the lower 48 states-is going underwater. And it's happening fast: about an acre every half hour." - excerpt from http://www.nwf.org/enviroaction/index.cfm?articleId=423&issueId=43
