Big Oil hurt coast, so why doesn't it pay for repairs?

Just last week I toured a patch of deteriorating wetlands in Louisiana. I heard first hand testimonial from a man who has lived his entire life in the bayou. While salt water intrudes inward the wetlands lose their ability to keep storms out, not only affecting the area environmentally but financially as well. While our country has lacked investment in critical infrastructure for many years, it has obviously lacked investment in maintaining these wetlands as well. While speculation has been made to Obama creating 2.5 million jobs to rebuild roads and infrastructure, I think wetlands restoration and revitalization must be included too.
