This is a new article devoted to addressing the urgent problem of coastal erosion in Southeastern Louisiana, which is the most critical topic in relation to the survival of our region. I was surprised that there is not an article on this yet. While I usually write about music, arts, and culture, I could not avoid ignoring this pressing issue which affects my home region, so I decided to create a much-needed article. The article is by no means complete. It is my hope that it will develop and become broader and more comprehensive with the passage of time. Though I am not a scientist, I am a concerned citizen, and I hope that editors who specialize in this area will step forward and contribute. Garagepunk66 ( talk) 22:57, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
The title to this article is incorrect. It should be "Coastal land loss in Louisiana" instead of "Coastal erosion in Louisiana." Coastal land loss overall conversion of coastal plain, e.g. including wetlands, “to open water either by expansion of existing water bodies (channels, lakes, ponds) or creation of new water bodies." It is a much broader term than coastal erosion in that it includes coastal land loss due to both erosion along shorelines (coastal erosion) and submergence of the land due to subsidence. The article should be renamed to the general process of which coastal land loss is a part.
Examples of definitions from Morton (2003)
"Wetland Losses - Wetland losses involve conversion of wetlands to open water either by expansion of existing water bodies (channels, lakes, ponds) or creation of new water bodies."
“Coastal land loss includes beach erosion, but it is a much broader term because it also includes land losses along bluffs and losses of wetlands around interior bays and estuaries.”

Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) is mentioned in the lede, but not in the article. Valetude ( talk) 14:33, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
Some causes of coastal land loss that are not oil and gas industry navigation canals are:
Some sources I plan to use:
The subject of these articles would appear to be the same, as South Louisiana is where Louisiana's coast is. Coastal erosion in Louisiana specifically addresses the southern regions of Louisiana, so I think that having two separate articles is unnecessary. signed, Rosguill talk 00:30, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
