St Martinville throws a hell of a parade and party for Mardi Gras.
We did have some time to spend traveling through St Martins Parish Louisiana driving out to the rice paddies and cane suger fields. Awesome area for wildlife diversity. This pdf discusses the sustainability of such agricultural practices. What do you think? http://www.env.go.jp/nature/satoyama/syuhourei/pdf/cwe_17.pdf Quote:

It's encouraging to see a case study where there is not an 'either (food) or (wildlife)' stance. While the managed wetland will not have the diversity of a natural one, at least this shows that we can successfully share with wildlife and still have economic viability.

There is a lot going on in Louisiana to save biodiversity,wetland quality and slow some of the agricultural runoff into the gulf from the entire mississippi river basin.
The University has some excellent informaion on what is being done. The question asked about how important is habitat restoration a few days ago is applicable in this area of wetland restoration and contruction.
