“My favorite memory is watching the sunrise over our dune grass planting in Grand Isle. It's amazing that in my first few months with CRCL we have been able to go to so many parts of my home state that I have never seen before.”

Our current Coastal Leadership Institute cohort had a great first 3 sessions! This group visited the LSU Center for River Studies, boated to Neptune Pass and learned from the Pointe-au-Chien Indian Tribe. They discussed LA's relationship to the coast, addressing coastal issues & cultures at risk.

Tom DeCarlo took this image during construction of our oyster shell reef at Cocodrie. According to Brian Roberts, executive director of LUMCON and member of our Coastal Advisory Council, the boardwalk was built over the shoreline, which has receded since. The oyster shell will help slow recession.

A new addition to Restoration HQ! 🌱
Our restoration team collected 2,000 mangrove propagules and potted them in our greenhouse. Once they grow, we’ll plant them to help mitigate erosion and provide crucial habitat. We made sure to collect local genetics to increase their chances of survival.

Last week, CRCL hosted a boat tour of Neptune Pass. CRCL’s executive director, Kimberly Davis Reyher, and communications director, James Karst, ventured alongside GNO Inc., finding a bustling ecosystem and a large plot of walkable land in Quarantine Bay that is just starting to vegetate.

We found a lot of treasure in our shell pile at the reef build!🍴🧜♀️ We're looking for artists & makers who can repurpose silverware & sauce cups that make their way into our oyster shell recycling bins. There's a whole more where this came from so don't be shy! Email [email protected] to claim!
