The Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council, based in New Orleans, LA, was established in 2012 under the RESTORE Act to oversee the restoration of the Gulf Coast ecosystem. Comprised of representatives from the Gulf Coast states and various federal agencies, the Council works to address the environmental and economic impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill through grants, projects, and programs that promote collaboration, coordination, and public engagement. With a focus on both near-term ecosystem benefits and long-term planning, the Council utilizes funds from the Transocean Deepwater Inc. settlement to support restoration efforts in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. Through its comprehensive plan updates, annual reports, and funded priorities lists, the Council aims to restore and revitalize the Gulf Coast's ecosystem and economy, while ensuring the efficient use of restoration funds and the incorporation of best available science.Generated from the website
