Polly Glover of Restore or Retreat and State Representative Joe Orgeron join the show to spotlight one of Louisiana’s largest coastal restoration efforts—the Port Fourchon Living Shoreline project. With over 100,000 linear feet of terraces built, the final phase adds 13,000 feet of wave-breaking land fortified by 14,000 native plants, including black mangroves and vermilion smooth cordgrass. These super plants trap sediment, boost biodiversity, and protect vital infrastructure like LA-1. The duo shares how local passion, volunteer power, and strategic partnerships are helping Louisiana fight back against land loss—one root system at a time. Coastal resilience starts here.
