The State of the Coast Conference is the largest event of its kind providing interdisciplinary presentations on the dynamic state of Louisiana’s coastal communities, environment, and economy. The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL), the Water Institute of the Gulf and the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) have partnered to produce this forum, the need for which grows with every acre of land lost to the Gulf.
