Down the bayou: A marine biologist, a community, and the resolve to preserve an ocean's bounty

摘要

Cajun folklore holds that once upon a time there was a crawfish cowboy called Sugarcane Joe whose task it was to watch over the crawfish catch Sugarcane Joe grew bored with his assignment and fell into the practice of shouting, "De cocodrie! De cocodrie!" when there was no crocodile at all. Each time he sang out, the locals would come running from their homes, fearful of losing to an alligator their sustenance and livelihood, their crawfish - only to find Sugarcane Joe yukking it up, his day made.
