Abstract:
As the foundation of implementing this plan the state will work to build its own capacity to reduce key uncertainties and to promote advances in the science, engineering and technology fields critical to the Master Plan through the development of Louisiana Applied Coastal Engineering and Science Program (LACES). Throughout the implementation of the Master Plan, there will be a need for strategic data collection and management, improved forecasting tools, focused research and development, and assessment of program and project effectiveness. These needs may be related to the science and engineering, modeling, socio-economic impacts and changes, implementation, technical methodology, resource constraints, or effectiveness of measures. They may also be related to development and refinement of forecasting tools. Advances in the state of science, engineering and technology must be addressed in order to achieve full and balanced integration of protection and restoration objectives.
