Abstract

Coastal marshes in Louisiana continue to deteriorate despite large-scale restoration efforts due, in part, to processes such as shallow and deep subsidence, sediment depletion, and sea level rise. The purpose of this technical note is to review and synthesize the available scientific literature concerning vertical accretion rates in Louisiana coastal marshes in response to a changing coastal environment.
