If you’re from Louisiana, you certainly know about Lake Pontchartrain. You probably know that it’s technically not even a lake! It is a divider of habitats, home to many unlikely species and has the longest bridge over water in the world! For a naturalist, it is a major spectacle! That is why Dr. Bob is on his 9th version of a 60+ page document which expands upon all that a naturalist may notice while crossing this giant estuary.
Bob and Aimée discuss the lake’s history, how it changes the climate, rangia clams, bull sharks, sea turtles, purple martins, pelicans flying, cormorants langmire circulation, waterspouts, how the lake was cleaned up, eutrophication and SO much more. Think of this episode as the cliff notes for that document!
Trust us, after this episode your 24 mile drive on the Causeway Bridge will never be the same!
