Episode 249: National Rivers Month with Restore the Mississippi River Delta

Did you know that June is National Rivers Month? And Louisiana is home to the delta of one of the more important – and second longest - rivers in the country. The Mississippi River is a vital piece of transportation for the country and the river and Louisiana are home to one of the largest volume ports in the United States. For centuries, the river and the state have been vital to the economy, agriculture, transportation and even heavy influences in literature and other art forms for not only our country but the world at large. This week, I had an amazing conversation with Simone Maloz. Simone is the campaign director of Restore the Mississippi River Delta. Together we talk about the river’s importance to our state and the country at large and ways that the organization and its partners are trying to help keep the river healthy and here for generations to come.
