At some point in the past 80 years, every region in the coast has experienced some degree of land loss, with some areas losing a much greater proportion of their land than others. As this chart shows, at various times, basins started to regain land, only to lose it again from storms or further development. One notable exception is the Atchafalaya basin, which has steadily been gaining land. The Wax Lake Delta there has proven a model for the kinds of restoration projects the state wants to invest in.
