A beloved bird is in decline along coastal Louisiana, thanks to the effects
of Climate Change. The brown pelican is seeing its habitat shrink as land
sinks and sea levels rise. Experts estimate that the state loses a football
field’s worth of coastal ground every 60 to 90 minutes. And as the cost of
restoration projects mounts, the situation becomes more dire for the pelicans
and people who live on the Gulf Coast’s vanishing islands. Climate Desk
