The pristine marshland in Jean Lafite State Park in Lafite, Louisiana, a half an hour west of New Orleans.
The pristine marshland in Jean Lafite State Park in Lafite, Louisiana, a half an hour west of New Orleans, is in danger of being lost to the Gulf of Mexico. The incursion of salt water into fresh water marshes, exacerbated by channels cut through the marsh to accommodate the oil and natural gas industries, causes Louisiana to lose over a football field of land each day.
