How did Chevron's oil and gas activities contribute to the degradation of Louisiana's wetlands, and what specific state regulations did they violate?

Chevron's actions violated state coastal resource regulations by dredging canals, drilling, and dumping wastewater, contributing to Louisiana's extensive wetland loss—a rate exceeding all other US states. The jury found Chevron liable for the damage, rejecting Chevron's argument that they were not responsible for land loss.
