For the Bayou was founded in San Francisco in 2008 by Louisiana natives. Our mission is to increase public awareness of the disappearing Louisiana coastal wetlands, foster restoration and protection of this economically and culturally significant coastal environment, and support the people of Louisiana.
Events
Our Mission, Our Work
Our approach involves creating opportunities for the public to participate in culturally significant activities that showcase the food, music and art that is native to the Louisiana coast, including crawfish boils, Jambalaya parties, concerts, auctions and more.
Our Mission, Our Work
Every 30 minutes Louisiana loses the equivalent of one football field of wetlands. These are America’s largest wetlands, and this is the most urgent ecological crisis in the history of the United States.
