The Landscape of Scales: Human Influences on Wetland Loss in Coastal Louisiana
|
:: Continuing Ed. Classes |
|
Presented by the Torrey Botanical Society
Did you know that coastal Louisiana once contained 40% of the wetlands in the continental United States? These biologically rich lands were formed over thousands of years by sediment deposits from the Mississippi River. Sadly, wetland areas have been disappearing since the 1950s, in large part due to human activity. Using dramatic aerial imagery and photos of wetland communities and plants, Dr. White will discuss almost 25 years of his wetlands research in the Mississippi Delta region.
