I recently returned from co-teaching a field course on wetland ecosystems of the southeastern US. For 10 days and 10 nights we traveled across the southeastern states, visiting a variety of freshwater, estuarine, and marine ecosystems that could be classified as "wetlands."
The class crashed at my house the first night so that we could hit the road early in the morning.
The next day we canoed in Atchaflaya Basin, a swamp in southern Louisiana. Our tour was led by Dr. Richard Keim from LSU (in the front of the canoe on the left).
The basin is one of the largest remaining examples of a pond cypress-tupelo riverine swamp.
Next: New Orleans
