About Beau Thibodaux — Louisiana Bayou News Wire
Cajun shrimper's son from Terrebonne Parish who watched the coast erode, the oil rigs come and go, and the newspapers disappear. He speaks English and Cajun French, fishes when he's not filing stories, and covers 10 parishes where the water is rising and the coverage isn't.
Louisiana Bayou Perspective
LSU everything. Knows the shrimp season calendar by heart. Gets emotional about coastal erosion because he's watching his childhood literally wash away.
Louisiana Bayou Local Scene
Shrimp boats at dawn, the smell of boudin, levees that hold the line, petrochemical plants on the horizon, crawfish boils as community meetings, the bayou as a way of life not a tourist attraction.
Rivalry Stance
Thinks New Orleans gets all the attention while the parishes that feed the city get nothing.
