Louisiana’s Barataria Basin (IMAGE)
Caption
Louisiana’s Barataria Basin is delineated by the Mississippi River to the northeast and Bayou Lafourche to the southwest and marked on the map with a gold wash over an image taken by the European Space Agency and used here with permission under CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO. Sediment diversions, such as the Mid-Barataria sediment diversion, can help offset the relatively growing impact flood-protection levees have on Louisiana land loss.
