"What's Really Going to Destroy the Gulf Coast" by Dave Thier expresses the concerns, problems, and propositions for the Mississippi Delta. Currently, the delta is trying to recover from oil spills, storms, erosion, human development, levees/canals, and soon saltwater intrusion. There are concerns that the ecosystem will be destroyed, not only effecting the area around it but all surrounding areas, as well with human industry and development.
This article was published on October 30, 2010 by Dave Thier and was found on aolnews.com.
The article first comes off very concerned for the coastal region by giving details and history and future concerns for the ecosystem. It is bias by saying human development of levees, canals, and dams disrupting and trying to control the river flow. It is pro- environmentalists supporting proposed ideas on ways to maintain and stabilize the river.
