I worked for a program overseen by federal and state agencies doing marsh restoration work. We had 3 or 4 projects in the cameron-creole in my time there, and several more before my time. Yeah, I don't live near big lake anymore, but I did for 18 years up until last August.
Its fine, I've grown accustomed to people just blowing off my experience and work. Pretty much why I left that work. People didn't appreciate the work I did, and I got tired of it. Why waste my time making measily money trying to save the marsh when no one else gives a damn?!
I've studied the wetlands of southwest Louisiana extensively, have studied under tthe guys that did the job before me, and studied and worked under former and current marsh managers, but I guess that still means I don't know crap.
I guess LDWF biologists and private landowners contacting me and coordinating with me on marsh revegetation projects doesn't mean squat either.
Like I said, I've gotten used to being belittled. Figured if I'm going to be belittled, might as well do it while making good money.
