This 2002 American RadioWorks series looks at "one of the worst and least-publicized environmental disasters in America's history." Discusses warnings by activists and environmentalists, ideas to save the wetlands (including flooding the area with water from the Mississippi River), and hurricane risk for New Orleans. Includes audio and transcripts from the program.
