#1 Most of the land loss in Louisiana is in the Mississippi Delta, about a hundred miles to the east. Areas west of the Atchafalaya River outlet, like Marsh Island, which is south of Avery Island, is actually gaining land.

I used to have a satellite image of the whole coastal area, but I don't know where it is, and it doesn't show up if you search for "West Cote Blanche Bay From Orbit."

#2 I learned to love mess hall and rat food Tabasco but anymore it just tastes 'manufactured'. I've moved on.

#3 Tide moves sand along coast.

Mankind to blame says eco-idiots.

#4 Skid, try Chalula sauce. Personally, it beats others in taste.

#5 12,000 years ago the coast of Louisiana was several hundred miles south of where it is today. Then the cave men burned down the subarctic grasslands to stampede the mammoths over cliffs and caused the glaciers to melt.

#6 The last glacial period ended 11,700 years ago. So that's what end the last ice age. :-)

#8 If we hadn't dammed up the Mississippi river, Louisiana would be growing still. We're stopping all that sediment from reaching the coast so the tides rip away land instead of adding to it as the sediment load drops.
