A bay in Pointe Aux-Chenes, Louisiana.

Sea level rise is dramatically impacting American shores, estuaries and marshes - not just in Louisiana, but across the country. Author Elizabeth Rush explores this in her book, Rising: Dispatches From the New American Shore. She explores how changing landscapes are affecting people and culture. She spoke with WWNO's Karl Lengel about the book.

Elizabeth Rush, author of Rising: Dispatches From the New American Shore, will speak at 6:00pm Wednesday, November 7th at Tulane’s Bywater Institute.

 

Karl Lengel worked at New Orleans Public Radio for more than two decades before leaving the station in 2023.
