Louisiana's coastline is vanishing fast. The US Geological Survey found that since 1932, the state has already lost almost 2,000 square miles of its territory, an area nearly the size of Delaware. For the Pointe-au-Chien tribe, who have been farming, fishing and living along the coast for generations, it is not just a mere statistic. Their land is disappearing into the water around them. So they decided to take action in a very unusual way: using the leftover oyster shells from restaurant kitchens.
