State of the Coast 2012 was a tremendous success again this year, with more than 850 attendees joining us for three days in New Orleans. State of the Coast 2012 was the largest and most comprehensive forum on the protection and restoration of Louisiana's coast in history!
112 presentations, 122 posters, 70 exhibitors, 3 keynote speeches and 2 plenary sessions helped make State of the Coast 2012 the world’s most informative and complete gathering of ideas and methods to address coastal land loss in Louisiana.
