A Sustainable Coastal Louisiana: What will it take to get there?

Curtis and Edith Munson Marine Conservation Lecture Series

Dr. Denise J. Reed, Professor, Department of Earth & Environmental Science, University of New Orleans

The lecture will outline recent and current plans to restore the coast, highlighting how restoration decisions are made and the role of science in informing them. Various options will be considered in terms of their impact and benefits to communities, the economy and the ecosystem.
This is part of a fall weekly lecture series focusing on the vulnerable Gulf coastal environment, and exploring the question of how the natural and built environments can coexist among the formidable forces of rising seas, coastal degradation, and the Mississippi River.
