Wetland Restoration

Wetlands Restoration:

1.  An Eco – Infrastructure project to save the Missisippi River Delta, the marshes and swamps, backwaters and bayous of Louisana.

2.  A Socio Economic Regional Redevelopment project to enable, enfranchise, engage the disparate but similarly disenfranchised poor and subsistence level inhabitants of Southern Louisiana, in particular, those of New Orleans Parish.

3.  A decades long project to buttress, protect, incubate, seed, build up, analyze, monitor, morph, and modify a wetlands restoration project dynamically – addressing the incontrovertible truth, that wetlands are inherently dynamic, ever changing environments we can only partially understand in stasis much rather in natural flux.  This is the only methodology that will ensure best intentions result in best results, and not an unforeseen eco disaster as so many of mankinds efforts to interfere with nature result in.
