the bp oil disaster could ultimately be as much about the survival of the city of new orleans as it is about the gulf of mexico itself and the communities right on the shore. to try to understand why, i went out into the canals of the barataria preserve with two people who know all about w wetlands and what makes them so important. not just to wildlife but to people living in cities. my guests are david muth with the park and preserve and professor larry mckinney, gulf of mexico studies at texas a&m. if you are ever asked to play trivial pursuit against these two guys, you can run, or you can cheat so they only get questions about music.
