“I had the privilege of working closely with Alex, Evelyn, and Nicolette on the Louisiana Watershed Initiative. I can attest to their unparalleled progressive and innovative mindset and their professionalism navigating technical and socio-economic challenges of complex multi-agency initiatives. Desire Line offers unique and urgently needed services to the State of Louisiana and the entire Gulf Region; and I have no doubt they will significantly contribute to the broad field of flood-risk reduction and management.”
