Save Alligator Bayou
- Target: Governor Bobby Jindal, Ascension Parish President Tommy Martinez, the Ascension Parish Council, Iberville Parish President Mitch Ourso add the Iberville Parish Council
- Sponsored by: Alligator Bayou Tours, Louisiana Environmental Action Network and Bluff Swamp Wildlife Refuge & Botanical Gardens, Inc.
With the understanding that water levels in this fragile environment need to be maintained at a low 3.8 to 4.2 feet, I call on the parishes of Ascension and Iberville to dredge Alligator Bayou and Frog Bayou and to install a larger, more efficient floodgate that will properly evacuate floodwaters.
I am concerned about the devastation of the bayou ecosystem and the loss of its fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals. The alligators are being killed. For the sake of the swamp and the people who appreciate its function and value, I implore you to take immediate action to save Alligator Bayou.
I am also concerned that the lack of proper water controls will result in disastrous flooding that could overtop hazardous waste pits and backwash into the basin to cause irreparable harm to life and property. For this reason, I urge you to dredge Alligator Bayou and Frog Bayou and to install a larger, more efficient floodgate.
Please listen to the people, save the animals and their ecosystem, and take immediate action to restore water levels to 3.8- to 4-foot levels - NOW!
I call on Iberville Parish President Mitch Ourso and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal to close the floodgate at Alligator Bayou and allow the water to reach 4-foot levels to reverse the ecological disaster that is now underway.
