ABOUT THE DISH

Jared sees it as our collective duty to help protect the coastline and have as little an impact as possible. This carries over into his work as a steamship pilot on the Mississippi river: “We as river pilots are at the frontline of environmental protection. Our number one job is to keep the environment and the people of Louisiana safe. This is our home, and we’re meant to take care of it.”
