Restore vs. Retreat: Securing ecosystem services provided by coastal Louisiana
This newsletter is the third in a series resulting from collaborative workshops between CLEAR (Coastal Louisiana Ecosystem Assessment and Restoration) and IAN staff. The first science newsletter "Reducing Flood Damage in Coastal Louisiana: Communities, Cultures, & Commerce", following closely after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, summarizes processes of land protection in a historical context. The second newsletter, "Enhancing Landscape Integrity in Coastal Louisiana: Water, Sediment & Ecosystems", synthesizes the differences between the Deltaic and Chenier Plains with regard to sediment delivery and hydrology. The current newsletter considers restoration options in the context of the valuable national ecosystem services supplied by Coastal Louisiana.

The Integration & Application Network is an initiative of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.
