Louisiana Awarded $156M+ Through GOMESA, an Oil and Gas Revenue-Sharing Program
March 29, 2024
As Louisiana’s energy industry expands to provide safe, reliable fuel for the world, funding to protect our coast grows too.

The award will be put towards coastal restoration efforts across 19 parishes. Louisiana is receiving almost twice as much GOMESA funding today as it did just six years ago, with more than $1 billion in coastal restoration and hurricane protection through GOMESA and...

Terrebonne Parish: What do the candidates have to say?
October 31, 2023
Source: HTV Houma, Terrebonne Parish Presidential Debate, Oct 27. 2023 Source: WDSU 6 News, Oct. 30, 2023 Our energy industry creates jobs and economic investments and when it is hit with frivolous lawsuits, all the progress disappears. Lawsuits against oil and gas have done nothing for our parish except cost us energy jobs and wages. While other parishes have chosen to sue the energy industry, costing our state jobs and wages while delivering $0 for coastal restoration, Terrebonne Parish has stood firm against baseless coastal lawsuits for a decade, preserving...
