A narrow New Orleans marshland, the Land Bridge, protects 1.5 million people from storm surges and floods but is rapidly disappearing. Louisiana plans a $101 million project to restore the marsh, which separates Lake Pontchartrain from the Gulf of Mexico and could vanish within 50 years without intervention.
