There are approximately 2.4 million miles of pipelines within the United States, crossing through every state in the nation (As illustrated on this map). The majority are concentrated along the Gulf Coast, where an abundance of natural resources, tax incentives, and loose regulation has supported the proliferation of the oil and gas industry within the region over the past 60 + years.

Massive environmental engineering was required in order to create this network of pipelines, and in turn there have been negative impacts to natural land building processes that once supported the growth of the Mississippi Delta. Additionally, the presence of so many pipelines has exponentially increased the chances of oil spills, noxious odors, contaminated air and polluted water impacting the health and safety of residents.

This page is a resource guide for those who are looking to conduct research, collect data, or submit reports of environmental concerns regarding pipelines. Although a majority of the work here is based within Louisiana and other Gulf states, the tools and techniques described here can be adapted for use in any geographic region. If you are working with pipelines in an area other than the Gulf Coast, please tag your work with #pipeline-monitoring so that it will appear on this page!

There are approximately 2.4 million miles of pipeline within the United States, crossing through every state in the nation (As seen on this map). The majority are concentrated along the Gulf Coast, where an abundance of natural resources has supported the exponential profileration of the oil and gas industry within the region.

This video series was compiled as a part of Public Lab's oil and gas accountability fellowship. The purpose of these webinars is to explain the ways that oil and gas infrastructure has resulted in erosion and loss of habitat throughout the state.

Each video in this series examines a different facet of the problem in Louisiana so that each can be viewed individually or in order. The purpose of this video series is to educate Louisiana residents on the history of our landscape and how to use laws such as the clean water act and resources such as the national reporting center to demand accountability from oil and gas companies when they illegally act outside of their permits.

While these videos are specifically catered to the situation in Louisiana, the tools and techniques discussed in these videos are applicable to environmental struggles across the nation. Many of the state-run resources provided here have similar counterparts in other areas.

Webinar One: Impact of Industry on Louisiana's Geomorphology

This video is part one of the webinar series "Civilian Monitoring of Pipelines in Louisiana," hosted by Public Lab. This video will discuss the geologic history of the Mississippi delta region and changes to the ecological landscape that have occurred following years of industrial development.

Webinar Two: Guide to Civilian Monitoring coming soon!
