It's Amanda Moore at the National Wildlife Federation (New Orleans field office). I know we'd talked about how we can work together to spread the word about the Louisiana's coastal wetlands and their importance to habitat and culture. Well, with the BP disaster, NWF is putting our resources to use doing a lot of media work to spread the word. We've been in Venice since this began and we even signed a temporary lease down there in order to have a constant presence giving scientists and media access to the impacted areas. On the week of June 21st, we are planning to highlight LA culture. One thing we'd like to do is have a small concert in Venice (maybe somewhere else, if that's how it works out) for the fishermen, boat captains, and spill workers. This would likely be on the 23rd in the late afternoon and we'd have national media outlets cover it and we'd use the event to highlight the importance of our coast. I think Lost Bayou Ramblers would be the perfect group to perform and I saw on your calendar that you'll be in LA at that time. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions. Hope y'all are doing alright. Best, Amanda Hi friends at Lost Bayou Ramblers.
