Barataria Bay Mapping Project
This page will be used to organize mapping trips, data sets and all other information related to this project. A description of the project can be found here:
Barataria Bay is growing rapidly, and the rim marshes are losing land rapidly. BP's oiling is accerating the erosional process in this area. This photographic effort and mapping allows us to show that in great detail to a mass audience, and hold BP accountable for its damages, despite its massive Public Relations Campaign and close ties to the US government.
Eventually, the State of Louisiana plans to restore these "Rim" marshes (SMP 2012 A-2 page SE-23, project 002.MC.07, $216 million). Therefore, it is vitally important to record how the oil is affecting the erosion of these marshes, so that that project has the highest change of success.
