Delta Scientific Director Answers Questions About Oil Spill, Impacts to Waterfowl and Waterfowl Habitat
Delta Waterfowl Scientific Director Dr. Frank Rohwer has hunted ducks in the coastal marshes of Louisiana for more than 20 years.
“It’s a special, special place, and it breaks my heart seeing it despoiled more and more with each passing day,” he said.
Like other Gulf Coast waterfowlers, Rohwer is worried about the ongoing oil spill and what its impact will ultimately be on coastal wetland habitat and its fish and wildlife.
“This is environmental disaster that could affect ducks and duck hunters for years to come,” said Rohwer, who is also a professor at Louisiana State University’s School of Renewable Natural Resources.
In the following Q&A, Rohwer discusses how the spill could impact the region’s coastal marshes, wintering ducks, and passionate waterfowling culture.
