Current as of January 01, 2023 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

A. The America's WETLAND Trail may be established in the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority.

B. The purpose of the America's WETLAND Trail shall be to heighten awareness of the dramatic coastal land loss occurring in south Louisiana and what that loss means to the entire state and the nation and to promote an understanding of how important the wetlands are to the state and the nation and what benefits are derived from these vital wetlands.

C. (1) The Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority may develop and implement a plan for the trail which shall at a minimum meet the objectives in Paragraph (2) of this Subsection.

(2) The trail will connect sites and events along coastal Louisiana from the western border with Texas to the eastern border with Mississippi. The sites included will highlight wildlife preserves and refuges, environmental and cultural resource centers, birding and nature trails, and cultural and historic sites. In addition, opportunities and tours will be included that allow visitors and state residents to experience the vast natural resources of the wetlands and the culture of our heritage through fairs and festivals, and generally to access the eco-tourism opportunities in the state of Louisiana.
