Diagram depicts the seven predictive model groups used in the master plan and their linkages. Along with the Planning Tool, the predictive models were used to determine how Louisiana’s coastal landscape, ecosystem services, and communities’ flood risk may change over the next 50 years. These tools helped to evaluate potential protection and restoration projects which comprised the 2012 Coastal Master Plan. Photo credits: Ecohydrology photo provided by the U.S. Geological Survey; all other photos provided by the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority.
