Grande Isle
The Pelican Tide chronicles a portion of the 87 days that oil from the Deepwater Horizon oil platform gushed into the Gulf of Mexico and covered Grand Isle, Louisiana, along with seven Gulf Coast States.
Grand Isle is a real place with real people with a rich history and a unique way of life. Grand Isle needs our help to survive.
In 2021 as I was finishing The Pelican Tide, Hurricane Ida hit the island. The storm damaged each of the island’s 2500 structures and destroyed 700 of them. The island lost power, water, and all services.
