The Gulf Is Rising. Get on Board.
Through this series, we honor the lives and experiences of the Gulf Coast’s front lines and their collective rise.
These stories are the heart of our land; these people are the soul of the Gulf.
50 years of poisoning the water and the air of Southwest Louisiana, this hub of toxic waste disposal is looking for leniency. Mass animal die-offs, human sickness, and years of dumping toxic chemicals down back country roads, all exposed in the latest episode of Gulf Rising.

In the Wake of LNG 003
Louisiana is proud of its local seafood. People come from around the world to feast on the world-class oysters, shrimp, and crawfish from the Gulf Coast region. Increasingly, the oil, gas, and LNG industries threaten the viability of Louisiana seafood. In this episode, we dive into a case where an LNG tanker reportedly sunk the boat of an oyster fisherman in Cameron Parish.
There are no repercussions in this David and Goliath story, and little to no recourse for a fisherman put out of nearly $15,000.
Here is the story, as we search for justice, if not the honor deserved, for our Gulf Coast fishermen.

Fishermen Fight Back 000
The show that started it. January 19, 2024, we marched on the America’s Energy Summit. Fishermen Fight Back showed up to the rally with six boats and fishermen from Cameron, Louisiana. All of them came to say their piece and make a show, and though they had a permit, the NOPD denied them their right to peaceful protest. Enraged and heartbroken by the injustice, Fishermen Fight Back and For a Better Bayou came onto WHIV that evening to talk about it. Here is that recording.
