Engulfed is a podcast from Loyola University New Orleans’ student-run newspaper The Maroon about investigating instances of environmental injustice in Southeast Louisiana communities. Louisiana is home to millions of acres of bayous, marshes rich with fauna spanning from the white-tailed deer to the American alligator, and long, brackish rivers, the Atchafalaya and Mississippi that empty into the Gulf of Mexico. For some, the state is a sportsman's paradise, a haven of sorts for catching crawfish or hunting duck. But for those drowning in man-made disasters like climate change, oil spills and unbreathable air, all they see are their ways of life slowly dying.

One predominantly Indigenous community living off the coast, Isle de Jean Charles, is already among one of the first climate migrants in the country. The last episode of Engulfed pieces together the impact of coastal erosion on Southeast Louisiana and how it’s threatening indigenous communities’ ways of life.
