Through WETshop\, teachers work with sc ientists to learn about Louisiana coastal wetlands\, issues\, and history. WETshop focuses on making teachers into wetland stewards so they can educ ate their coworkers and students in their home parishes about coastal land loss and restoration. Workshop experiences provide teachers ideas to inco rporate Louisiana phenomena-based science into the classroom at all grade levels. After teachers complete the workshop\, we encourage them to implem ent a 6-hour wetland stewardship project in their parish with their studen ts and community.

Teachers interested in WETSHOP 2023 can visit www.wlf.louisiana. gov/page/for-teachers or contact Heather David at hdavid@wlf.la.gov with questions.

Oysters are an important part of Louisiana’s culture\, economy\, and ecology. They build reefs that slow st orm surge\, filter nutrients helping with water quality\, and their reefs provide habitat for many species. And we also love to eat them! However\, oysters face new\, unprecedented threats in the form of increased temperat ure\, more freshwater flooding\, and planned restoration projects.

In this workshop\, we will explore elements of an oyster’s biology and it s history in Louisiana. Then we’ll learn about threats to the oyster—both old and new. Lastly\, we’ll investigate some of the proposed solutions to address concerns of oyster decline. This hands-on workshop will have addre ss state standards in both science and social studies.

Graduate Interjurisdictional Research Award Fellowship ( GIRAF)
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\nOffered in Partnership by Louisiana Space Grant (LaSPACE ) & Louisiana Sea Grant (LSG)
\n
The joint Louisiana Space Grant and Sea Grant Graduate Interjurisdictional Research Award Fellowship (GIR AF) Program invites interdisciplinary proposals from across the state. The fellowship requires the use of data from vast archives and remote -sensing capabilities available through the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NO AA) to address a high-priority research need within Louisiana’s nearshore environs\, coastal areas\, wetlands\, watersheds\, and/or human activities in these areas (e.g. aquaculture). Successful proposals must ade ptly utilize relevant measurement instruments and/or remote-sensing data s ources from NASA\, NOAA\, and/or other sources that can include\, but are not limited to\, radiometers\, spectroradiometers\, satellite sensors\, LI DAR\, aerial imagery\, and other data collected from airplanes\, unmanned aerial vehicles\, and/or unpiloted submersibles in the execution of the pr oposed work.
\n
Applicants must be a full-time\, enrolled graduate st udent at an accredited college or university within Louisiana\, an affilia te of Louisiana Space Grant\, and a citizen of the United States. Please d irect any questions to laspace@lsu.edu or mbethe3@lsu.edu with the subject line “GIRAF program.”
\n
2026-27 GIRAF Program Focus Area s:
\nCoastal Louisiana and North Carolina are extremely vulnerable to the loss of sediment in our coastal systems and the resultan t impact to our coastal habitats and biota. Both states need new informat ion and approaches to help generate mitigation and adaptation responses. Sediment loss is driven by land-side as well as water-side processes. Bot h are relevant topics for this opportunity and we welcome applications foc used on either\, or both.
\n
· Sediment Budgets\;
\n
· Erosion\;
\n
· Habitat transformations and the resultant imp act on biota\;
\n
· Management Response as it relates to develo ping mechanisms\, methods and/or tools to help natural resource managers m ake optimal decisions.

Louisiana Sea Grant is hosting a Coastal Connections Infogra phic Challenge at Nicholls State University on Thursday\, March 23\, 20 23 at 6 p.m. in the Bollinger Suite of the Bollinger Memorial Student Union. The competition is open to all undergraduate and graduate students at Nicholls conducting coastal research—including\, but not limited to the fields of anthropology\, biology\, design\, ecology\, economics\, enginee ring\, geography\, geology\, history and sociology.
\n
In this compet ition\, students will use a mixture of visual imagery and text to effectiv ely communicate their research findings. An infographic is a tool that com bines imagery\, text and statistical figures to easily convey a subject. T hey help communicate information quickly and clearly. This Coastal Connect ions Competition focuses on the ability of students to consolidate their i deas\, crystalize their research discoveries and share them using the powe r of visual media.

The Louisiana Space & Sea grant Opportunities (LaSSO) for Un dergraduate Research Program is directed at science and engineering studen ts who are working on projects in research areas deemed a priority by both NASA and NOAA. This is a new project developed in collaboration between t he Louisiana Space Grant and Louisiana Sea Grant programs. Likely areas of research focus would include earth science\, coastal studies\, remote sen sing\, and similar topics that are relevant to the NASA Earth Science and NOAA missions. It is up to the proposers to provide evidence that the prop osed work is of interest to both Agencies. This is a 9.5-month award for $ 4500 with a requirement of at least $3500 going directly to the student.\n
The intent of the LaSSO program is to supplement and enhance the un dergraduate academic curriculum by providing the science/engineering stude nt with a hands-on\, mentored research experience relevant to space\, eart h\, coastal\, and/or marine sciences. A LaSSO project will be a joint effo rt between a faculty researcher\, who serves as mentor and project Princip al Investigator\, and an undergraduate researcher. Proposals must clearly identify the Mission Directorate/NASA Center/Research Division at NASA and the Louisiana Sea Grant’s strategic plan research priori ty/NOAA Research Division being addressed by this project. Projects focuse d exclusively on NASA Research not of relevance to Louisiana Sea Grant sho uld be submitted to the LaSPACE LURA program.

Algae is the first link in all aquatic food webs. It support s the majority of aquatic organisms\, from the largest vertebrates to the most minuscule invertebrates\, including groups that are very important fo r fisheries and conservation\, such as fish\, shrimp\, oysters\, and coral s. But as environmental pressures increase\, algal populations are changin g and disappearing. This has dire consequences for the organisms that feed on them\, as well as for corals that need particular species of algae to recover after bleaching events.
\n
To safeguard our world’s most impo rtant algal genetic resources\, LSU’s Aquatic Germplasm and Genetic Resour ces Center is creating repositories through cryopreservation. This include s the development of new technologies that will allow the recovery and mai ntenance of multiple species of commercial\, ecological and economical imp ortance\, now and in the future.

Subsistence fishing and gardening in South Louisiana is neit her recreational nor commercial and therefore rarely documented. Louisiana ’s subsistence foodways rely on exchanges between gardeners\, hunters\, sh rimpers\, crabbers and fishers in coastal communities. Citrus\, cucumbers\ , crabs and duck are often shared with neighbors\, relatives and friends i n ways that help build social bonds people rely on in good times and bad. Join us at LSU Science Café to learn about a research project that started after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil disaster and just led to the publica tion of a new book\, Bayou Harvest: Subsistence Practice in Coastal Louisi ana\, which documents food harvesting and sharing in coastal communities. “Our first task was to figure out how to study it\,” researcher and author Helen A. Regis said.

The joint Louisiana Space Grant and Sea Grant Graduate Inter jurisdictional Research Award Fellowship (GIRAF) Program invites interdisc iplinary proposals from across the state. The fellowship requires the use of data from vast archives and remote-sensing capabilities availab le through the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) and the Nation al Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to address a high-priorit y research need within Louisiana’s nearshore environs\, coastal areas\, we tlands\, watersheds\, and/or human activities in these areas (e.g. aquacul ture). Successful proposals must adeptly utilize relevant measure ment instruments and/or remote-sensing data sources from NASA\, NOAA\, and /or other sources that can include\, but are not limited to\, radiometers\ , spectroradiometers\, satellite sensors\, LIDAR\, aerial imagery\, and ot her data collected from airplanes\, unmanned aerial vehicles\, and/or unpi loted submersibles in the execution of the proposed work.
