| L.J. Alleman Middle School asks: About how deep and what temperature is the water where you are traveling now? CC answers: We anchored in water 12 feet deep this week. It was 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The water depth varies. In the Atchafalaya River we crossed a spot 68 feet deep and on Flat Lake a shallow spot only 3 feet deep. |

| L.J. Alleman Middle School asks: What area of the state do you think you're going to end up with at the end of Marsh Mission? CC answers: Only the wind knows. We will definitely make it to the Sabine River on teh west side of Louisiana and come back to the Mississippi and Lake Pontchartrain and possibly on to the Pearl River. If we have time we may do it twice. At the end the Wetland Wanderer will probably be put up for sale, so we will park it wherever people could see it best. |

| Avoyelles Public Charter School asks: Explain how deltas are formed? Sue answers: Deltas are formed when sediment-laden water hits the gulf. Its velocity slows down allowing the sediment to fall. When this happens in shallow waters it builds land and the river seeks many channels through this new land. It usually fans out in a delta shape. |
