The Louisiana Coast

Guide to an American Wetland Volume 15

Beschreibung

Hurricane Katrina gave the nation an urgent reminder of the extent and value of Louisiana's wetlands when daily discussions of subsidence and sedimentation revealed how much ordinary coastal processes affect humanity - and vice versa. This book helps readers learn how best to enjoy, appreciate, and protect this vanishing landscape.
