By redirecting the Mississippi River from it's natural flow, south Louisiana's wetlands are being taken over and destroyed by the stronger current of the Gulf of Mexico at an alarming rate. The loss of south Louisiana's wetlands contributes to the loss of our unique culture, our heritage, our wildlife, our people and their livelihood.
Voice Of the Wetlands (VOW) is an organization that is made up strictly of volunteers who dedicate their talent, time and resources to bring global attention to south Louisiana and the world's coastal erosion problem.
VOW recognizes that we can't wait to be saved and the time has come to save ourselves.
VOW wants to prove that results can happen from people gathering and working together towards a purpose that they are passionate about.
VOW offers everyone who cares an avenue to help.
VOW wants to set a global example by producing results on a local basis that has a direct affect on a world problem.
VOW will fight to be part of the decision making and leadership to represent the voice of south Louisiana's wetlands.
First, you must decide if you want to continue to live here, visit or enjoy the finer things that our unique culture provides to the world. The wetlands provide seafood, gas, oil, food, art and music just to name a few. Are you ready to lose the millions of species of plants, insects, animals and most importantly a people, culture and a way of life that will be lost forever? If these things are important to you then we ask for you to make a VOW now because we need your help!!!
