| Bishop Noland Episcopal Day School asks: Each year after Christmas, we are asked to give our real left over trees for a coastal erosion project. They are placed in the water along the coastlines. Is this project working? CC answers: Every little bit helps. So the Christmas tree program has worked in certain places. We need to do much more though. |

| Audubon Elementary asks: What makes the Mangrove different from other ecosystems? Have you seen any Mangrove in the Atchafalaya Marshes, or in the nearby coastal regions? CC answers: Mangroves thrive in a tropical wetland habitat. Coastal Louisiana is on the fringe of this zone. Thus mangroves here are limited and stunted. LSU scientist, John Day tells me that the mangroves at Fouchon near Grand Isle are growing fast. This is because there has been no freeze there since 1989. There are probably some mangroves in Atchafalaya Bay, we will find out soon. |

| South Thibodaux Elementary asks: How is it living on a houseboat in the marshes of Louisiana? Sue answers: We have only lived on it so far on the Ohio River, but I am sure it will be fine when we get into the Louisiana Marsh next week. |

| St. James Episcopal Day School asks: Where does Annie sleep on the houseboat?
Sue answers: Annie is a roving reporter. She usually sleeps out in the wetlands so that she can be close to the critters she is studying. The M.U.T.T. of the Marsh is fearless! |
