Background on the area: The vulnerability of coastal Louisiana to hurricanes has dramatically increased in recent decades due to wetland loss from canal building, sediment deprivation, and oil and gas development and lack of investment in hurricane protection levees. The economic well-being of commercial fishing towns in the affected region has declined recently because of corporate globalization driving down shrimp and crab prices to levels not seen for decades while fuel prices hit record highs. Read this excellent compilation of resources on South Louisiana's economy, society, and ecology in the context of hurricane vulnerability.
