America’s WETLAND Foundation AWF believes the dramatic loss of coastal land coupled with a lack of public funding requires an “all hands on deck” approach where private sector investment will play a pivotal role. AWF Managing Director Val Marmillion is convinced that “Coastal land loss isn’t waiting for adequate funding for projects.”
That’s why the Baton Rouge, LA based (AWF) just announced that it plans to create a wetlands restoration registry that will catalog projects that have been paid for through private sector funding by either private non-profit organizations or private industry. The projects will be cataloged by both acreage and cost.
