yesterday i visited Cocodrie – a tiny fishing community at the end of the road. the road is the white line in the top right of the google earth pic below.
the other lines are natural bayou’s and man-made channels created by the oil and gas industry. the coast is riddled and i went canoeing through the riddles…

Dr. Alex Kolker gave me a tour of LUMCON and filled me in on his work investigating the natural, climatic, and anthropogenic processes that govern the coastal systems of the Mississippi River Delta.
