Live Chat Tuesday: Talk To Bob Marshall About Challenges Facing Coastal Louisiana

Last week, we began a series on the crisis facing the Louisiana coast, reported by The Lens’ Bob Marshall and produced by our own Fred Kasten. The stories lay out the causes of Louisiana’s coastal loss and what can be done to reverse it.

Tuesday at 1 p.m., Marshall will participate in a live chat about whether there’s hope for the coast. Is it too late to reverse the accelerating loss of land? Should we spend $50 billion in restoration projects?

You’re invited to come and pose your questions and opinions. To participate, come here and type your comments into the chat window below.

In the meantime, you can read or listen to the stories so far:

PANEL DISCUSSION WEDNESDAY

You can continue the conversation Wednesday night at a free panel discussion sponsored by The Lens, WWNO — New Orleans Public Radio and Loyola University. Marshall will moderate a discussion among:

  • John Barry, author of Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How it Changed America

  • Anne Rolfes, founder of Louisiana Bucket Brigade
