BARATARIA BAY, La. — For P.J. Hahn, the white PVC poles poking up from Bay Jimmy are a stark reminder of just how quickly the Louisiana marsh is receding since the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010.
Bay Jimmy and its surrounding marsh grasses were at center stage during the media coverage of the oil spill. This is one of the hardest hit areas, where miles of booms were placed in hopes of holding back the massive clouds of oil being washed into the Louisiana marsh.
