From Barataria Bay to Grand Isle and back.

Add to Cart Add to Lightbox Download

28 May 2010. Barataria Bay to Grand Isle, Jefferson/Lafourche Parish, Louisiana.
Brown Pelicans, protected by freshly laid oil boom cram every inch of a small outcrop of Cat Island in Barataria Bay. The ecological and economic impact are devastating to south louisiana. Oil from the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe is evading booms laid out to stop it thanks in part to the dispersants which means the oil travels at every depth of the Gulf and washes ashore wherever the current carries it. The Louisiana wetlands produce over 30% of America's seafood and are the most fertile of their kind in the world.
