Do you all want to know about the marshes of SE Louisiana?
Posted by: | CommentsI grew up as a child in the 70′s and was able to spend a lot of time hunting and fishing those bountiful marshes. This area has more coastal marine life that anywhere in the continental U.S. It is/was a nature wonderland. It is where marine life spawned and is/was a huge part of the Eco chain.
Here is an example of how bountiful the SE La marshes are: I can remember after one late afternoon duck hunt (killed 12 ducks), my buddy and I were on our way back to the hunting/fishing camp after the hunt and stopped a dam that we had to cross. This dam had one foot of water overflow. We broke out fishing rods and caught 20 huge speckled trout in less than 30 minutes. When we got back to the camp it was dark, so we checked our rabbit traps that we had set earlier that day and all four traps had rabbits in them. After our morning duck hunt, we went back to the hunting camp and started fishing a small dam located 50 yards from the camp. The dam occasionally had overflow at high tide and this morning it was coming over pretty strong. We caught 30 bass in 30 minutes at this dam. That afternoon as the tide went down, we sat on the front porch smoking a J and watched all of the wildlife come out on the mud banks to scour for shell fish. The marshes were so full of life and up until a week ago, it was still teeming with life. Now, it may be 20 years for this to come back if it does at all. The long term affects of the oil in the marsh will ruin it.
This area is/was a national treasure. For it to be filled with crude oil is a catastrophe. Man has ruined nature again.
Not only the marshes of SE La will be affected. The Gulf of Mexico as a whole will suffer greatly. There is a 200 square mile dead zone in the Gulf as we speak and this will grow even bigger.
Let’s pray that this never happens again anywhere in the world.
Billy,
We kept and cleaned everything. This is what deep freezers in our garages are for…:-) I was taught not to kill it if you are not going to eat it.
Edit: I failed to mention that this area provides the U.S. with 1/3 of it’s seafood. 60% of America’s blue crab and 75% of America’s Oysters come from here. The seafood industry in this area has provided for thousands of families. From the commercial fisherman to the seafood restaurants to the suppliers of these restaurants, etc.
