gulf coast restoration

The Obama administration report on how the Gulf Coast can be restored is out. The report comes from the White House's Gulf of Mexico Ecosystem Restoration Task Force.

A recent poll shows Americans overwhelmingly in favor of the federal government investing money to restore the Gulf Coast.

Louisiana's two U.S. senators introduced legislation yesterday that would dedicate 80-percent of the funds collected from penalties assessed because of the BP oil spill to Gulf Coast restoration.

A White House appointee says preserving the ecosystem of the Gulf Coast — damaged by the BP oil spill and decades of erosion — will be a massive undertaking, the "grandaddy" of restoration projects.
