18ROTHS | State Of The Coast

The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana has postponed its State of the Coast conference, which had been scheduled for May of this year, until 2021 because of concerns surrounding COVID-19. The premier gathering for coastal restoration in Louisiana will take place June 2 to 4, 2021. The conference will be at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in downtown New Orleans, as previously planned.
Registration for the 2020 conference will be honored for next year’s gathering. The program will be reviewed and reconsidered in the coming months to ensure timely content and to include discussion of how the coronavirus pandemic may affect our climate and coastal restoration. Further developments about State of the Coast 2021 will be sent via email and posted on this website.

Restoration on the Half Shell

Program

Restoration on the Half Shell is an interactive “mini-conference” experience, ideal for anyone looking to enhance their knowledge of our land loss crisis but who don’t want the more technical presentations found at the full State of the Coast conference.

Restoration on the Half Shell 2018 included presentations about the current state of land loss, coastal restoration, flood risk reduction, and the plans to address these issues. The program had pertinent, timely information from presenters with a wealth of technical knowledge delivered in a non-technical fashion. This was complemented with a panel discussion to tie together a diversity of perspectives on the challenges we face living, working, and playing in Coastal Louisiana. Ask questions, give your opinion, and be part of the solution.

Restoration on the Half Shell only comes around once every two years. We'll see you in 2020!
