From Spark to Flame—The Public Interest Role in Coastal Restoration and the Future of South Louisiana

Curtis and Edith Munson Marine Conservation Lecture Series

Mr. Mark Davis, Executive Director, Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana

The challenges faced by the communities and ecology of south Louisiana present a test for if and how civics, science, engineering and economics can be brought to bear to save one of the world’s greatest ecologic and cultural treasures. The role that NGOs have played and may need to play in meeting that test will be the focus of this presentation.
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.
