Founded in 2004 by Dean Wilson, Atchafalaya Basinkeeper is dedicated to safeguarding the swamps, lakes, rivers, streams, and bayous of the Atchafalaya Basin. Initially focused on preserving Louisiana's coastal cypress forests, the organization has expanded its mission to include advocacy, education, and monitoring efforts in collaboration with local communities.
Atchafalaya Basinkeeper has made significant strides, including the successful closure of the Coon Trap diversion project, which had harmed the Basin for over 30 years. Ongoing efforts focus on effective water management and ensuring environmental compliance to protect this vital ecosystem.
