HCR 27 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

COASTAL RES/COASTAL ZONE: Urges and requests enhancement of the state's participation in the Gulf of America Hypoxia Action Plan and Task Force

This concurrent resolution urges Louisiana to strengthen its participation in the Gulf Hypoxia Action Plan, which aims to reduce low-oxygen zones (hypoxia) in the Gulf of Mexico. It specifically recommends that the Governor’s Office of Coastal Activities lead state representation on the national task force, the Office of Soil and Water Conservation co-chair the state nutrient reduction team, and the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries join as a full partner. The resolution also requires annual reports to legislative committees and public meetings about Louisiana’s progress toward the plan’s 2035 goals.
