Diving under an oil platform, you never know what you are going to see. Yes they are artificial structures drilling for oil - but coral grows everywhere and they attract small fish and… bigger fish that eat small fish. Somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico. #gulfofmexico #sharks #marineconservation #sonypartner #sonyalpha https://www.instagram.com/p/CpQZFyuuoph/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Collection: My Coming Out Story, Title: Number Nine, Author: @henriettasyarn

There was a day when I looked into the sun

I saw the sky burning behind it

And the ocean waves crashing beneath it

The water licked my skin and left my body tingling with salt

The bottom of my dress lapped against my upper thighs,

Granules of sugary gulf sand softly found their way between my toes

We were there in the moment while the rest of the world ceased to exist

Nothing happened around us,

it was only water and a fading day

My soul was out there,

Trying its best to dodge my grasping hands

in the dusk shed waves

I had to feel everything

I had to taste the salt and the sweet yellow American spirits

I had to expose my eyes to the contrasting colors of an ending day

I sucked in vodka tonics and burnt fig flavored tobacco

It was a perfect moment, if there is such a thing

We were perfectly poetry

Out there in our cocktails dresses,

chasing our souls out to sea

Leaving behind salty tears to replace what we took

With our hands clasped, all four, my spirit saw yours

and yours saw mine

We were at peace, yet completely, and irrevocably, broken

But that’s how we were meant to be,

beyond repair

And tragically happy

Running further from shore,

We were sure to leave it all behind

I forgot where I was when I let the waves take me away

Our souls were made to find each other and the sea

We and the sea will always be there to take them back

We kept running and never turned back

We didn’t want to see the world we left behind

We already knew that world,

And all our senses could do

Was search for our souls —

Your scent the memory,

Of the times we were lost together,

Out at sea, in our cocktail dresses

What's up with the Mississippi River lately?

A look into the current saltwater intrusion affecting Louisiana

*Slight Disclaimer: To be clear, what you are reading now is not expert opinion, rather educated research formulated into my own knowledge and understanding of said subject material. Thank you for listening.

Firstly, I think that it is appropriate to inform ourselves as to what this saltwater intrusion is. According to the U.S Geological Survey, “This interface between freshwater and saltwater is maintained near the coast or far below the land surface. The interface...is a diffuse zone where freshwater and saltwater mix. Under natural conditions, the seaward movement of freshwater prevents saltwater from encroaching on freshwater coastal aquifers. We generally see saltwater intrusions occur in spots where a pumping well (structural device used to extract liquid resources) is operated. To put it into current perspective though, the saltwater intrusion we are recently hearing about is due to a lack of rainfall within the regions that the Mississippi River occupies. Basically, water from the Gulf of Mexico has been invading the supply of water the Mississippi River provides, due to this drought. This has slowed and interrupted the flow of streaming water, enabling the intrusion of salt water to contaminate this freshwater supply.

Hot and dry conditions over the summer seem to have triggered the extreme drought, affecting people not only in Mississippi, but in Southeast Louisiana as well. Residents' kitchen faucets, showers, and other essential water systems are becoming unsafe to utilize. People more at risk include pregnant women, those with kidney disease, high blood pressure, and autoimmune diseases. ABC News provides coverage of the intrusion situation in Louisiana. Following is a quote from Matt Roe, a spokesperson for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in New Orleans, when referring to the current state of the Mighty Mississippi River, “it doesn’t have the mass and velocity needed to push the salt water back down around the mouth of the river.” He is explaining the reason as to why the intrusion is happening.

Because the water has become unsafe, reliance on prepackaged water bottles has become more common. These bottles are necessary to prepare meals in some areas, as well as to drink. A councilman from the Plaquemines Parish (greater southeast New Orleans region) Mark “Hobbo” Cognevich, chimes on the present affairs of the affected areas and says “grocery stores are constantly having to restock plastic water bottles, neighbors have reported getting rashes after showering...We are praying for rain...” It is evident that this water intrusion is a problem and is causing complications for ordinary living in the affected areas. So, how have officials responded to this environmental crisis? One example is the heightening of an existing underwater levee used to block and slow the flow of salt water. Also, millions of gallons of fresh water are being taken by barges to treatment facilities in impacted areas.

All in all, while steps are being taken to aid the plight of residents, there is still a mistrust between residents and officials. I think this is so because Louisiana is a state that has endured prior instances of environmental disaster. The guidance given and availability of resources has not always been equitable or distributed in a timely manner, leaving residents distrusting and insecure in the faith of officials.

I hope this was informative and was able to resonate with you in any way, appreciate the read!
