• March 2018
It is often easy to use empty metaphors or scientific jargon to explain the impacts and future related to coastal land loss.

In this talk, Madelyn Smith shares her photography, and the stories of people photographed, to illuminate the urgency and broader impacts of Louisiana’s coastal land loss.
