America's WETLAND Community & Culture Summit
At the America's WETLAND Community & Culture Summit, U.S. Senator Mary
Landrieu and Secretary Jack Caldwell, Louisiana Department of Natural
Resources, presented an AW Flag to Mayor Ray Nagin, City of New Orleans,
showing the City of New Orleans support for saving coastal Louisiana.
Senator Landrieu also presented an AW Flag to Council Chairman Aaron
Broussard, Jefferson Parish, indicating their support for the AW campaign as
well. AW Flags are being presented to city and parish leaders who joined
the AW campaign as "Community Partners," to display outside city buildings.
On August 22, 2003, Representatives from all over the State gathered in Lake
Charles, LA at the America's WETLAND Community & Culture Summit to compare
notes on the threat to the unique culture of communities whose very
existence is threatened by wetland loss. The summit was the third in a
series of seven summits that will each bring together a specific audience to
address different issues related to Louisiana's coastal land loss.
