Louisiana’s marshes, swamps and barrier islands have the ability to reduce the disastrous effects of flooding, absorbing rainfall like a sponge and tamping down the force of storm surges. Unfortunately though, recent severe land erosion has permitted storms to crash into Louisiana’s coastline with no buffer so those flood protections have become much less effective. Bloomberg.com makes this point and goes on to suggest that the $100 billion of energy infrastructure is at great risk as pipelines, refineries, and tank farms are being exposed to rising saltwater that is extremely corrosive.
