Rising sea levels have killed vast stretches of roseau cane , a reed that binds together large sections of south Louisiana .
Scientists had previously pinned much of the blame on a tiny Asian insect that preys exclusively on roseau.

The plant’s thick roots anchor the soil, helping it withstand erosion and build new ground over time.
Another option would be to dredge sediment and add it directly to marshes a strategy state and federal agencies employ on the coast, but not at a scale that matches the rate of land loss. “In order to be more resilient, you have to deal with the flood stress and the only way to do that is to add sediment to these deteriorating marshes,” Quirk said..
