Louisiana Fishermen Pioneer Floating Architecture
For more on this story go to http://www.pbs.org/newshour/topic/climate-change/ The fishing community on Old River in Louisiana is in a flood-prone area. In order to maintain their homes, many of the residents have mobilized to devise an innovative solution: turning their homes into floating rafts. Also known as "amphibious," the houses usually stay grounded, but float when the water rises.
