About CRCL
The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to unite people in action to achieve a thriving, sustainable Louisiana coast for all.
Incorporated in 1988, CRCL represents a unique mix of businesses, local governments, industries, scientific communities, national and local conservation groups, hunters, anglers and a broad spectrum of concerned residents who all share a common vision and commitment to the future of coastal Louisiana. The common vision of these varied and diverse interests is the driving strength of CRCL, the most effective and recognized costal advocacy organization in the state.
Recognizing that Louisiana’s coastal land loss is having dramatic impacts on the nation’s energy, navigation and fishing interests, CRCL works at the local, state and federal levels to ensure that restoring and protecting coastal Louisiana is a top priority for our state and the nation.
In addition to our role as advocate and watchdog, we also serve as responsible stewards of Louisiana’s rich coastal wetlands. We facilitate and fund restoration projects through our Native Plants Program, and we work diligently to raise awareness and educate others about the importance of preserving and restoring our coast.
The multifaceted, comprehensive and coastwide approach to restoration distinguishes CRCL from every other civic and environmental group in the state.
