Navigating Climate Adaptation in Louisiana
This chapter explores Louisiana's Coastal Master Plan, a $50 billion initiative aimed at addressing coastal land loss through engineering projects, including river diversions. While it garners bipartisan support, it faces local opposition from fishermen concerned about the impact on their livelihoods. The discussion highlights the tension between environmental preservation and the immediate survival needs of vulnerable communities, raising philosophical questions about mortality and commitment to place.
