Louisiana NASA Space Grant & EPSCoR (LaSPACE) in partnership with Louisiana Sea Grant (LSG)
Spring 2021 Virtual LaSPACE Council Meeting
Connections & Collaboration Opportunities between NASA Space Grant and NOAA Sea Grant
Date: Friday, March 12, 2021 | 11:00 am – 5:00 pm CST
Zoom Meeting Link: TBD | Password: TBD
This meeting is open to anyone who is interested in joining, but is especially targeted toward researchers at Louisiana institutions pursuing investigations of relevance to both NOAA and NASA, including but not limited to: Earth Science Research, Coastal Studies, Climate Science, Remote Sensing, Carbon Cycle & Ecosystems and Weather Science. We are also inviting scientists and program officers from both agencies and encourage you all to invite researchers already doing cross-agency work. This meeting will serve as an introduction to the NASA Space Grant/EPSCoR and NOAA Sea Grant opportunities already available in Louisiana, as well as potential opportunities at the agency level.
Join Paddle the Gulf and learn how to use iNaturalist app to incorporate citizen science into outreach activities. Users explore the natural world and help scientists by taking photos of plants and animals. The training will be led by Clara Zubrick, an educator with Weeks Bay Reserve, who will walk participants through using the app and share her experience using iNaturalist during the Alabama BioBlitz.
Space is limited so register early!
This course will be taught in Spanish language.
About the course: One-day Segment 2 Virtual (S2 Virtual)
S2 Virtual is the practical portion that follows the online Segment course. Participants work with others to complete a hazard analysis and create a HACCP plan for an assigned seafood product. This course is one-day and participants are “virtually” present during the entire class day. No travel is required.
Course registration: If interested in attending this course, please call or email Abigail Villalba at (757) 727-4861, villalba[email protected] or Evelyn Watts at (225) 578-6304, [email protected] for information about the course, requirements, and registration.

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.
The State of the Coast (SOC) conference is the largest statewide conference of its kind, providing an interdisciplinary forum to exchange timely and relevant information on the dynamic conditions of Louisiana’s coastal communities, environment, and economy. The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, The Water Institute of the Gulf, the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority of Louisiana (CPRA) and Louisiana Sea Grant have partnered to produce this forum, the need for which grows with every acre of land lost to the Gulf.
SOC2021 will consist of virtual presentations by leading experts in concurrent sessions, keynote presentations, poster sessions, and networking opportunities. More than 1,200 scientists, landowners/managers, federal and state agency personnel, local officials, industry and business leaders, resource users, and interested citizens attended the fifth iteration of this biennial conference in 2018.
NMEA’s mission is to make known the world of water both fresh and salt, and our annual conference brings together formal and informal marine educators from around the world to promote awareness and education of the global marine environment. The conference draws education professionals from schools and universities, aquariums and science centers, non-profit NGOs, and government agencies together for five days of learning, sharing, and networking.
CERF 2021 is Going Virtual!
You and our colleagues will come together to network, celebrate our work, learn from each other, and grow within our amazing field as we endeavor to connect science and society in the collective goals of preserving coastal and estuarine habitats, resources, and heritage. Collaborate and discuss with more than 1,700 scientists and researchers from all over the world.
