You often hear people say that the only constant in south Louisiana is change. For the people who attend SOC, change is a big part of their work, their research and their lives. Some conference-goers are focused on slowing change. Others may look at ways to adapt to it. All are aware that it is inevitable. The concept always rings true: things look far different today than they did yesterday, and the decisions we’re making now will help decide what they’ll look like in the future. Join us May 20 to 22 to exchange ideas, learn and connect. Hosted by the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, with partners Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority and The Water Institute. Register today: https://lnkd.in/gF9dYgwe

We had a wonderful morning learning about bald cypress trees from Harvey Stern, Brendan Harmon and Julie Whitbeck! Our CRCLecture attendees spent their Saturday morning taking in the beautiful nature in Jean Lafitte National Park. We learned about the legacy of bald cypress trees through innovative models and took a stroll through Jean Lafitte National Park to see a 500 year old cypress tree. Thank you to everyone who joined us and a special thank you to our lecture speakers!

Volunteers, we need your help for a very special project. The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana is teaming up with the National Football League, the Super Bowl LIX Host Committee, Force Blue, Chefs Brigade, Verizon, Entergy, Venture Global and Dow for a Super Bowl project to create a living shoreline that will help mitigate storm damage and minimize coastal erosion in Leeville, in south Lafourche Parish. To kick off the project, we will host an oyster shell bagging event Dec. 5 at CRCL’s Restoration HQ in Violet to prepare the recycled oyster shell for the reef. Volunteers can register for the bagging at this link: https://lnkd.in/gNijtS4Y #coastalrestoration #landloss #coastaladvocacy #nolaoysters #batonrougeoysters #oysterreef #oystershell #superbowl

In May, over 1,200 scientists, policymakers, planners, business interests, educators and private residents concerned with the future of the Louisiana coast will gather in New Orleans.

Your voice is vital to the conversation. Register today and join us for three days of lively discussion around our changing coast. https://lnkd.in/gF9dYgwe
