Coastal Wetlands Planning Protection and Coastal Wetlands Planning Protection and Restoration Act (Restoration Act (CWPPRA)

In 1990, the United States Congress recognized the national significance of wetland loss in Louisiana and passed the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (Public Law 101-646, Title III; also known as the Breaux Act) to contribute federal monies and build upon existing state restoration activities.

In 2004, the United States Congress voted to extend CWPPRA for an additional 15 years, under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005.

CWPPRA dedicated, this year, approximately $65 million to wetland restoration projects in Louisiana.

CWPPRA is directed by a Task Force composed of five federal agencies: the United States Departments of the Army, Agriculture, Commerce, and the Interior; and the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

CWPPRA Projects 142 active projects since 1991
