| Desc | COASTAL COMMUNITIES COLLABORATION- THE COASTAL COMMUNITIES OF SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA ARE BAYOU COMMUNITIES AT RISK DUE TO LAND LOSS FROM INDUSTRIALIZATION, MOSTLY FROM OIL RELATED WORK, AND FROM CLIMATE CHANGE. MANY OF THE COMMUNITIES HAVE SIMILARITIES IN THAT THEY HAVE BEEN IN PLACE FOR MANY GENERATIONS AND ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY DISPLACED, ESCAPED, SOLD OR PUSHED OUT OF OTHER REGIONS OF THE WORLD. THE BAYOU COMMUNITIES HAVE DEEP ROOTS AND KNOWLEDGE TO AND OF THE LAND, WATER AND TRADITIONS OF THEIR PLACE AND NOW THAT PLACE IS THREATENED. NEW MAPS CREATED EVERY SEVERAL MONTHS BY VARIOUS AGENCIES AND RESEARCH TEAMS ARE ONLY CONFIRMING WHAT THE PEOPLE ALREADY KNOW- THE LAND IS VANISHING FASTER THAN PLANS FOR RESTORATION OR ACTION TO ACCOMMODATE THE INHABITANTS, HUMAN AND NON. OUT OF THESE CONCERNS A LOOSE COALITION OF COMMUNITIES, TRIBES AND PEOPLE HAVE FORMED VARIOUS NETWORKS AND TIMELY COALITIONS TO ADDRESS BOTH ROOT CAUSES AND TO BUILD AGENCY- CAPACITY OF COMMUNITIES TO HAVE VOICE AND DECISION POWER OVER THEIR LIVES AND OF THE PLACES THEY LOVE SO MUCH. AS ONE LEADER HAS SAID, 'WE CAN ONLY CONTINUE TO ADAPT IN PLACE UNTIL THERE ARE OTHER ALTERNATIVES AVAILABLE AND THOSE ALTERNATIVES WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO US UNLESS WE MAKE IT HAPPEN'. THE COASTAL COMMUNITIES COLLABORATIVE PROJECT SUPPORTS THE WORK OF THE COASTAL COMMUNITIES. | Desc |
