Dear Jim,
In the next hour, an area of the Mississippi River Delta almost as large as a football field will be washed away.
When that happens, a school of redfish will lose some of the shallow grass flats where they search for food, and a flock of mallards will lose more of their traditional wintering grounds.
We thank you for supporting our campaign and becoming part of the solution.
The Delta's wetlands host as many as ten million ducks and geese every year—70% of the waterfowl in the Mississippi and Central flyways. And the Louisiana coast is also one of the only places where you can catch everything from largemouth bass to yellowfin tuna.
We can put the Mississippi River back to work and restore the coast, but it is going to take the support of business leaders like yourself to make it happen.
Stay tuned for updates from us, and be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
Sincerely,
Land Tawney, Vanishing Paradise
