Researchers working along the Gulf Coast are proposing the restoration of the region's wetlands, which act as a natural speed bump for storms. The plan is part of discussions of how best to protect against another hurricane.

Students from the University of Wisconsin-Madison are studying a 430-acre triangle within New Orleans' Bayou Bienvenue. Their work is part of a proposal aimed at restoring a cypress swamp.

All together now: "Save the swamp! Save the swamp!"

About this blog

After Katrina and its horrible aftermath, Chin Music Press felt compelled to shine its wobbly flashlight on New Orleans. This effort resulted in our second book, Do You Know What It Means To Miss New Orleans? Along the way, we met a community of passionate, eloquent writers who care deeply about what happens to the Big Easy. This blog became a natural extension of the book. It's our way of adding voices to the unfolding story of New Orleans.
