Loss of Coastal Wetlands

  • During the 20th century Louisiana lost a total of 1.2

million acres of land

  • If this trend continues, by 2050 wetland loss will be

greater than the size of Delaware, and the Washington, DC-Baltimore, MD metropolitan area

  • combined. We are losing 44 square miles per

year.

A Transportation Disaster?

21

To put this in the context of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, imagine that seventy percent of the 68,0000 square miles of oil that was floating in the Gulf of Mexico was destined to be consumed by America’s transportation sector. The area covered by the oil intended for the transportation sector would cover an area slightly larger than the entire state of Pennsylvania (47,600 square miles). Perhaps more shocking is that despite the massive amount of

  • il spilled in Gulf of Mexico, the

quantity used just by the transportation sector would be consumed in just under 3 days.
