When you look at a map of Louisiana, the South Lafourche community stands out almost as an island surrounded by water and a withering marsh. The reason this area stands out so much is because of the hurricane protection levee that surrounds the community. Since the 1960’s, the South Lafourche Levee District has been working diligently to protect the South Lafourche community from floods and coastal erosion. In this episode, Brennan Matherne sits down with recently retired General Manager, Windell Curole, and new General Manager Nicholas Matherne. They give us a glimpse into how the levee came to be, the constant work done to maintain its integrity, and what they see for the future.
