While power has been restored to most of Louisiana since Hurricane Francine, there are still plenty of lineman working to get the last lights turned on. WRKF's Capital Access reporter Brooke Thorington spoke with a lineman about why he crossed state lines to help out.While many are glued  to “Chimp Crazy,” the new HBO docuseries about the world's largest chimpanzee sanctuary, Chimp Haven – located outside of Shreveport – is sounding the alarm. The organization is now pushing for legislation against the private possession of chimpanzees and other nonhuman primates. Amy Fultz, Welfare Scientist and co-founder of Chimp Haven, joins us for more on chimp health and safety.Large cranes dropped bulbous gray blobs of concrete into Barataria Bay, north of Grand Isle this month in hopes they'll become the new home for fish and smaller organisms displaced by the removal of a decommissioned oil rig last year. The new artificial coral reef, dubbed “Cajun cora”' is made using technology similar to 3D printing.  Rad Trascher, the executive vice president of the Coastal Conservation Association of Louisiana,, tells us more about what scientists hope the reef can provide for the ecosystem. ___Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

Jesse Howe is the Assistant Director of the Coastal Conservation Association, Maryland (CCA) whose purpose is to advise and educate the public on the conservation of our marine resources. They seek to conserve, promote and enhance the present and future availability of coastal resources for the benefit and enjoyment of the general public. One of the main projects CCA does are living reefs, which are reef balls that they create in the Chesapeake Bay to provide important habitat for oysters and other estuarine critters and they are valued in both fresh and Bay waters. And since the 1700's oyster populations have seen dramatic decline due to over-harvesting, disease, habitat loss and more and the Bay has really seen the effects of that as oysters are natural filters. Therefore the reef balls offer a place for oysters to come back to the Bay and help maintain healthy waters and the ecosystem.  With Jesse we talk about why Maryland's coastline is ecologically significant, the goals of the Living Reefs, how they get the community involved, citizen science, and how to support their work.

While the companies are operating legally under Louisiana law, it is not responsible for our coast the way the laws allow it. Other states don't allow it, so why is Louisiana.

Rufus Wakeman has been a friend before I ever met him. His legacy precedes his presence. He's big, boisterous and lovable, with the ability to out fish the best of them. We traveled to the Amazon eons ago and was awarded with a trip of a lifetime accentuated by my new found friend! His passion for fishing took him around the world and into the fishes' most demanding and far reaching homes. He's held numerous highly cherished world records including a 57 pound dolphin on 16 pound tippet. He also, with utter amazement, caught 11 billfish species on fly in one year. He was one species short of catching all 12 billfish species in one year! The elusive swordfish denied his grand slam dream. He built the River Palm Cottages and Fish Camp on the Saint Lucie River where his family experienced first hand the despicable Lake Okeechobee algae discharges, which over the years has decimated the river's ability to grow healthy grass essential to holding game fish. He's given generously to many conservation based organizations and is the President of the Coastal Conservation Association of Martin County, FL.

In 2012 Oregon and Washington agreed to a plan that would get gillnets out of the main stem of the Columbia River by 2017.  That has not yet happened and on February 14th the Washington and Oregon Departments of Fish and Wildlife announced salmon allocations to recreational and commercial anglers for 2020 which includes plans for a commercial gillnet fishery on main stem of the Lower Columbia River this summer.   The Coastal Conservation Association says this new rule opens the door to further use of gillnets, to include gillnetting on the main stem of the Columbia for Spring Chinook.  We get two perspectives about all of this. Bill Tweit with the Washington Dept. of Fish and Wildlife gives the perspective from the point of view of Washington State and after that, Nello Picinich, Executive Director of the Coastal Conservation Association in Washington, shares his point of view about this.  Air Date - Feb 22, 2020 on Northwestern Outdoors Radio and the Pacific NW Edition of America Outdoors Radio. www.northwesternoutdoors.com www.americaoutdoorsradio.com  https://wdfw.wa.gov/news/washington-oregon-agree-allocations-2020-columbia-river-salmon-fisheries https://www.votervoice.net/CCAPNW/Campaigns/71424/Respond
