The Basin Program has a master plan that was approved in 1999, and activities have expanded to address the needs of both the resources and the resource users of the Atchafalaya Basin.\u00a0 Now that the Program has been transferred, CPRA is committed to continue the important work benefitting the Basin while tying this Program into the state\u2019s larger coastal efforts.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Bren Haase, Executive Director of the CPRA, \u201cAs an agency, we look forward to always improving our knowledge of conditions in the coastal basins and to developing technologies, models, and methods to aid in the implementation of CPRA projects, particularly in this part of the coast.\u201d<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\u201cÐÓ°É´«Ã½, more so then any other University in our state, serves the people and collegiate student population of the Atchafalaya and Terrebonne Basins, as well as the river parishes.\u201d said ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ Alum and State Senator, Norby Chabert, \u201cIt is the ideal location and partnership for this important initiative.&#8221;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Original article published at gov.louisiana.gov.
