The musicians above were already working together with other volunteers to raise awareness of the erosion of the Gulf Coast wetlands BEFORE HURRICANE KATRINA. Now, the loss of South Louisiana 's wetlands contributes to the loss of their unique culture, heritage, wildlife, people and their livelihood. It is indeed ironic that these musicians and volunteers were bringing light to the problems of erosion and potential storm damage to the Gulf Coast at a time when the coast was virtually destroyed.

Each one of the musicians involved in the project appreciate the influence that Louisiana has had on them musically as well as building their professional careers. They have continued to re-plant seeds into the soil in which there music has grown from by working with the youth and different out reach programs, and organizations that continue to provide the longevity of Louisiana culture. The reason that this may be the most important of those projects is because if we keep losing the land we will lose the culture.
