Glass Half Full and Tulane University helpers work to pour new sand - including sand made from recycled glass - out as part of a coastal restoration project in Bayou Bienvenue on March 9, 2024.

For the last two weeks on Louisiana Considered, we’ve been bringing you Wetlands Radio, a series on coastal restoration from producer Eve Abrams. Today: the final episodes.

First we explore glass recycling, and how one innovative idea can make a huge impact. Then we take the longview, and learn why our understanding of the coastline is perhaps Louisiana’s greatest weapon against climate change.
