The Effects of the Hurricane Katrina on Louisiana´S Gulf Coast

In wake of Hurricane Katrina, devastation was eminent. As on the new and television the people, business and industries were greatly affected by this catastrophe; however, no one is mentioning the effects of the hurricane on Louisiana´s coastal land. It is true that the people and businesses are returning to southeastern Louisiana, but some effects experienced by the coastline are irreversible and permanent. In addition to the major impact during the considerably short time period of the storm, Louisiana was already on pace of losing its wetlands. Tracking the loss of land will help prevent future loss of Louisiana´s coastline.
