About this listen

What gets you out of bed in the morning? For us, it's wetlands. This week's episode is all about the effervescent glory of Louisiana coastal wetlands. You can expect to learn about the importance of coastal wetlands and the sea-level rise and coastal erosion that threaten them. We also have a CP Brief discussion of how the LA Coastal Master Plan aims to mitigate land loss through sediment diversions. Come for the fun facts & stay for thoughts on the environmental justice implications of land loss in LA. Bonus content: where to find the best vegan corndog in town.References:
