    L.J. Alleman Middle School asks: Which kinds of animals do you see more at nighttime while in the marshes?    CC answers:  The bull frogs are out.  With a spot light you can see them at night.  When it gets warmer Alligators are easy to see at night.  Armadillos, Raccoons and Opossums are also foraging at night.
    L.J. Alleman Middle School asks: In science we have been studying food chains.  Have you seen any food chains that are being affected because of the changes happening in the marshes?    CC answers:  As more marsh disappears we will have some gaps in teh food change and that will affect the entire food chain.  Now we have the boom before the bust.
    L.J. Alleman Middle School asks: What is the fiercest bird that lives in the marshes?    CC answers:  That's a hard one.  I do not really call any of our birds fierce, they all just do there job of eating and protecting themselves.
    Bishop Noland Episcopal Day School asks: As a whole, is your mission going well?  Have you brought the awareness to Louisiana's coastal problem that you set out to?  On our local TV stations, we have been seeing many news reports trying to also bring awareness.
   CC answers:  Yes, our mission is going well.  Spring is blooming and we are learning and photographing much.  The website is getting many visitors, we have been in a number of newspapers so our goal of public awareness is on target and it will continue throughout the books and the exhibit.
    L.J. Alleman Middle School asks: What are some things that kids our age can do to help with the problems facing our wetlands?    Sue answers:  Learn more about the wetlands.  Educate other people your age about the problems facing our coast.  Write a congressman in another state and tell him how important the Louisiana wetlands are to all Americans.
    Audubon Elementary asks: Why are barrier islands important to the wetlands?    CC answers:  In my Gulf Coast book I describe the five habitats of the coast.  Swamp, marsh, bays, barrier islands, and the Gulf.  They all blend together to form a avery productive group of habitats.  The barrier islands protect the bays and marsh from storms.  They are also an important sea bird habitat.
