The Delta-X Spring 2021 campaign is almost upon us!

We are monitoring a storm coming to the Gulf Coast starting on Tuesday 3/23 through potentially Friday 3/26. Our preferred Atchafalaya basin low tide date for all aircraft and boat teams is Saturday 3/27 (except the vegetation team).

We have backup days through Tuesday 3/30 if needed, but we will likely be playing the schedule by ear for the next week so please be flexible and patient with us and Mother Nature.
