We need to build this berm to protect us. We have got hurricane season. And we have got to have a plan to clean it up out the marsh. And, please, put somebody in charge that takes action, not makes excuses. The Coast Guard isn't getting the job done.
Billy Nungesser urges the president to take immediate action to protect the marsh and appoint effective leadership.

If they would have worked 24-7 on the cleanup, we would have seen most of the area cleaned up and bank stabilization in place. We're losing land every day because of the lack of the response.
They have no plan. The Coast Guard nor BP has a plan. There's nobody cleaning up the marsh. I want to see a plan. If you're not going to have a plan, get the hell out of the way and let us go do it ourselves.
It's the single largest coastal restoration project in the history of America. It was permanent in 19 days without cutting any hurdles.
Absolutely not. The spots you saw, you don't have the thick oil. But when a bird gets a little bit of oil on its breast, it's like you punching a hole in a rubber boot. You're going to get pneumonia and die.
