Atchafalaya Basinkeeper, Inc

Atchafalaya Basinkeeper, Inc. is dedicated to the protection and restoration of the Atchafalaya Basin's diverse ecosystems, including its swamps, lakes, rivers, streams, and bayous. Founded by Dean Wilson, the organization is a member of the Waterkeeper Alliance and actively engages in advocacy, education, and community involvement to address various environmental threats to the Basin.

The organization has achieved significant milestones, such as the closure of the Coon Trap, which had caused extensive damage to the Basin over the past 30 years. Through ongoing efforts, Atchafalaya Basinkeeper aims to ensure the sustainability of this vital habitat, which is crucial for both local culture and the economy, particularly in the context of Louisiana's crawfishing industry.
