2017 Coastal Master Plan Project Development Program

Due to a high level of interest and the large volume of project proposals received to date, the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) has issued a second request for proposals for new projects to be considered for inclusion in the 2017 Coastal Master Plan.

The deadline to submit project proposals is October 31, 2014.

New projects can be proposed:
  • that build and/or sustain land;
  • provide significant flood risk reduction;
  • address radical shifts in the coastal landscape;
  • confront future uncertainty challenges.
New projects can be proposed by any external source, including academia, parishes, elected officials, agencies, NGO’s, landowners, business/industry, and the general public.

All proposals must be delivered electronically (in PDF format) to MasterPlan@la.gov.

Proposals should be no more than 7 pages (1-2 pages for the cover sheet and contact information, 2 pages for project description, 1 page for a map of project location, and 1-2 pages for project attributes).

Like the 2012 Coastal Master Plan, a screening process will be used to determine whether a project has the potential to be included in the 2017 analysis.

All questions can be sent to MasterPlan@la.gov. CPRA staff will be available to help develop and refine project attributes.

For more information, including complete details on the types of projects that can be proposed, screening guidelines, and submittal details, click here to download a PDF.

Please note that projects proposed in advance of the August 21st deadline are currently under review. Upon completing review of any additional submissions received by the October 31st deadline, CPRA representatives will provide a response to each proposer. We anticipate these notifications being completed by the end of 2014.
