Louisiana rockstars take to the air to see the coast Blog - Storm Protection / Coastal Issues Friday, 26 March 2010 13:24

GRN was excited to work with musician Tab Benoit and his organization, Voice of the Wetlands to take a couple other Louisiana rockstars on a coastal wetlands flyover recently.  We were lucky to get Anders Osborne and Pepper Keenan to take time out of their busy schedules to spend time with us viewing the Atchafalaya Basin and it's neighbor the Terrebonne Basin from above. We saw how the Atchafalaya Basin is building land, as it's still connected to the fresh water and sediment of the Mississippi River, while the Terrebonne is literally falling apart, disconnected from the Mississippi and it's vital resources.
