Sustainability of Louisiana Coastal Wetland Forests
Curtis and Edith Munson Marine Conservation Lecture Series
Dr. Richard F. Keim, Assistant Professor, School of Renewable Natural Resources, Louisiana State University.
Changing hydrological conditions in deltaic swamp forests have resulted from flood control measures on the Mississippi River. The result is degradation of productivity and regeneration problems that are of immediate interest because of forest management issues and of long-term relevance to coastal ecology and infrastructure.

This is part of a fall weekly lecture series focusing on the vulnerable Gulf coastal environment, and exploring the question of how the natural and built environments can coexist among the formidable forces of rising seas, coastal degradation, and the Mississippi River.
