NE Louisiana Genealogical and Historical Society Meeting. 6-14-2015.

Margaret Rivoire gave a talk on the "Vanishing Coastline of Louisiana".  16 square miles vanishes every year. Two large contributors to the problems are (1) farmers and levees, and (2) oil well canals. These factors disturbed the natural ebb and flow in the wetlands.

Margaret is from the area and knows her subject well. I enjoyed her talk.
