The Bays and Bayous Symposium will be held Dec. 1-3. The theme for the virtual event is “Sound Science, Sound Policy: A 2020 Vision for the Future.” Bays and Bayous will begin after noon on Tuesday, Dec. 1, and end before noon on Thursday, Dec. 3.
The symposium focuses on (but is not limited to) coastal science research, education and outreach in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Scientists from universities, NGOs and government agencies share their research findings at the event, and leaders from coastal municipalities showcase their resilience and conservation efforts. Educators and extension professionals also present their research and successful outreach efforts. Popular topics at the symposium include oil spill impacts, habitat management and restoration, climate and hazard resilience, living resources, and water quality and supply.
Typically, the symposium includes 150-200 poster and oral presentations, and the event is known as a networking opportunity for the 350-450 coastal science professionals and students who attend. The symposium also includes special awards for top student presenters.
This site will be updated throughout the planning process as more information becomes available.

The Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) continues its support for an assistantship program called the Coastal Science Assistantship Program (CSAP). This program provides assistantships for up to three years to support Master of Science students both enrolled full-time at Louisiana colleges/universities and involved in science or engineering research relevant to Louisiana coastal protection and restoration efforts.

Greater Amberjack is an important recreational and commercial fish species in the Gulf of Mexico and
South Atlantic regions. To address management and stakeholder concerns about the Greater Amberjack
fisheries in both regions, Congress authorized funding of $10 million for a multi-year Greater Amberjack
Research Program to be implemented through a cooperative agreement with the National Sea Grant
Office and the National Marine Fisheries Service.
Draft priorities will soon be available, and listening sessions will be held to get feedback on these
priorities.
- Texas-hosted Session – Dec. 7 from 6-8 p.m.
- Louisiana-hosted Session – Dec. 8 from 3-5 p.m.
Participants from either state are welcome to attend the session that best fits their schedule.

Additional sessions will be held across the Southeast from Dec. 1-10. To find our more

The goal of the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) is to increase the number of undergraduates pursuing coastal science careers by encouraging and supporting specific undergraduate research activities. Students propose, carry out and report results of a research project related to an existing project funded by Sea Grant.
Note: A UROP application must be submitted by a faculty member. Students should not submit the application.

This half-day workshop is intended to provide participants with advanced experience using Gulf TREE – the filter-based search engine designed to help users find the right climate resilience tool for their needs quickly, easily, and confidently.
As Gulf TREE continues to gain popularity, it will be increasingly useful to be a local expert on Gulf TREE, able to quickly help colleagues, clients, communities you work with, and more.
CEUs for planning and floodplain management will be provided.
Please mark your calendars for The Gulf of Mexico Conference (GoMCon) “preview” on April 14th, 2021!
GoMCon combines the annual Gulf of Mexico Alliance (GOMA) All Hands Meeting, the annual Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill and Ecosystems Science (GoMOSES) Conference, and the triannual State of the Gulf Summit. The virtual GoMCon preview emphasizes the intersection of scientific research and the management of Gulf Coast human and natural systems, the focus of the 2022 in-person conference.
The 3-hour virtual preview includes a keynote speaker and panels designed to present:
- Where we are: the status of Gulf coastal and ocean research and restoration.
- Where we are going: what science and research is needed to inform Gulf restoration and management.
- How to get there: the funding needed to achieve necessary Gulf science and research.
The preview is an introduction to the main event, the in-person conference in 2022! It is a great way to make sure researchers, coastal resource managers, and interested stakeholders have an opportunity to collaborate on managing this precious natural resource we call the Gulf of Mexico.
The event is free. For more information and to register, please visit the GoMCon website at https://gomcon2021.dryfta.com.
