Louisiana Sea Grant will host the Coastal Connections Infographic Ch allenge for University of New Orleans students in the Fall 2023 as part of Innovate UNO week events. The competition is open to UNO undergraduate an d graduate students conducting coastal research—including\, but not limite d to the fields of anthropology\, biology\, design\, ecology\, economics\, engineering\, geography\, geology\, history and sociology.
\nIn thi s competition\, students will use a mixture of visual imagery and text to effectively communicate their research findings. An infographic is a tool that combines imagery\, text and statistical figures to easily convey a su bject. They help communicate information quickly and clearly. This Coastal Connections Competition focuses on the ability of students to consolidate their ideas\, crystalize their research discoveries and share them using the power of visual media.

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.
\nTo 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.

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.
