Billy Nungesser wants to build an 8 foot levee where natural ridges stood before coastal erosion came around Plaquemines parish to help knock the storm surge and protect the levees, I think its a good idea.


My Grand Paw told me his dad use to take a horse and buggy to Last Island. That's scary to know how much we lost.

ur grand paw is correct, i have pics from back in the day when last island was a village and not an island. there were also cow on the island back only 2 generation ago. it has since pretty much disappeared.

its sad to go fish an area and see the land loss in just a year or after a storm...
