Finding Common Ground: A Louisiana Documentary 

A thoughtful compendium of perspectives that gradually assembles an understanding of the coastal system and its dynamics in a way that rather emulates the facilitated natural processes of assembly and restored functionality of the system itself. Really quite brilliant!

Being a Loyola alum and an avid outdoorsman i take great pride in this fine film...kudos to all involved.

As someone who has never been to Louisiana and only recently decided to look into the state's Coastal Master Plan, this was a great way to learn about different opinions and stakes involved. Thank you for the great documentary that respects science but also shows how scientists are susceptible to "silo"ing themselves from other groups. I love the inclusion of art in this. That was a great way to share the story - just like the actor states, stories (through the art of e.g. filmmaking) are the common ground. The comment he makes about impermanence is SO relevant and may be a big-picture item that scientists forget to keep in mind as they focus on their specific questions.

Great job, all.

What about growing vetivert grass? It is known to stop erosion with its complex root system and is suitable for the climate, it has been used for years in the past dried for various reasons and has many uses, one of which is to keep soil from eroding!

The fresh water diversion killed the marsh? Dumbest statement ever said out loud.

If there's no solution at the present then let's take the actual knowledge here and sit with it instead of demanding action and solutions. Louisiana has been in a state of constant flux since the Miocene, the biggest impacts being huge deposit of sediments during the last glacial impact, melting of ice and the warming of the earth, and the redirection of the rivers from east to west - to north to south. Turn of the century is when the engineers began rerouting the missisissippi and red rivers without any thought to the needs of sediment deposit in certain areas - i think it's pretty clear it's had a huge impact - look where the state has GROWN land .... it coincides with redirection.

Sad that they only speak English...
