Abstract
The extent of lands included in the U.S. Coastal Barriers Resources System should be expanded in order to protect more people, property, and natural resources in vulnerable coastal areas, according to several witnesses at an 8 November U.S. congressional hearing.However, the witnesses disagreed as to whether sections of Louisiana should be included in that expansion. Louisiana received attention at the hearing due to the extent of damage caused by recent hurricanes; the U.S. Geological Survey has estimated that 100 square miles of Louisiana marsh became open water during the storms.
