  1. You include essential information about the topic and all pictures add to our understanding of basic facts and the problems.

    Please help me understand why the swamp is filling up with silt and mud. I am not clear on that yet.

    Also, let us know who is already helping the Atchafalaya and how we can help the Atchafalaya, too.

    Nice work!
