Indiana University Professor Chris Craft says coastal Louisiana wetlands may be on the brink of survival, pushed over the edge by the failed British Petroleum oil well that until recently was spewing 30,000 barrels of oil a day into the Gulf of Mexico. Craft says that gulf wetlands have been under siege for more than a century as a result of natural and human-caused activities. He joins us in the studio this week to discuss the oil spill and its effect on the ecology of coastal wetlands as our guest this week on EcoReport, a weekly program providing independent media coverage of environmental and ecological issues with a focus on local, state and regional people, issues, and events in order to foster open discussion of human relationships with nature and the Earth and to encourage you to take personal responsibility for the world in which we live. Each program features timely eco-related headline news, a feature interview or event recording, and a calendar of events of interest to the environmentally conscious.
