Since the 1930s Louisiana has lost more than 2,000 square-miles of coastal wetlands. Cook-off for the Coast—an annual event filled with food, music, and art—brings Louisiana’s St. Bernard Parish together in community, while shedding light on the region’s land loss crisis and importance of the coastal restoration work happening across the state.
