There is a dire environmental problem of coastal erosion along the Gulf Coast. Southern Louisiana is the fastest disappearing landmass on earth. Over the past century, at least 2,000 square miles of marshland have disappeared, turning landmasses into open salt water, shifting the Gulf Coast as we know it. One way of thinking about this is that each year, an area of land the size of Manhattan is ripped off the coast of Louisiana. https://medium/matter/louisiana-loses-its-boot-b55b3bd52d1e
