The competition is open to UNO undergraduate and graduate students conducting coastal research—including, but not limited to the fields of anthropology, biology, design, ecology, economics, engineering, geography, geology, history and sociology.</p> <p>In this 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 subject. 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.</p> <div id="attachment_12534" class="wp-caption alignright"></div> <p><a title="Coastal Communication Clips" href="https://www.laseagrant.org/outreach/ladia/connections/uno/">Visit the Coastal Connections at UNO for more info</a></p>2023-11-142023-11-17en-USOther,Presentationshttp://www.laseagrant.org/outreach/ladia/connections/ul/Earl K.

It supports the majority of aquatic organisms, from the largest vertebrates to the most minuscule invertebrates, including groups that are very important for fisheries and conservation, such as fish, shrimp, oysters, and corals. But as environmental pressures increase, algal populations are changing 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.</p> <p>To safeguard our world’s most important algal genetic resources, LSU’s Aquatic Germplasm and Genetic Resources Center is creating repositories through cryopreservation. This includes the development of new technologies that will allow the recovery and maintenance of multiple species of commercial, ecological and economical importance, now and in the future.</p> <p><strong>About the Speaker</strong></p> <p>Maria Teresa Gutierrez-Wing is an assistant research professor in the School of Renewable Natural Resources and assistant director for outreach and network development at LSU’s Aquatic Germplasm and Genetic Resources Center. Originally from Mexico, Gutierrez-Wing earned her Ph.D. in environmental engineering from LSU. She is a cofounder of Envirotronics, a company focused on the development of electronic devices for coastal protection and restoration applications, and holds patents obtained through her work at LSU and LSU AgCenter.</p> <p>Tickets: <a class="ai1ec-ticket-url-exported" href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lsu-science-cafe-algae-the-key-to-all-aquatic-life-registration-734948178787?aff=ebdsoporgprofile">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lsu-science-cafe-algae-the-key-to-all-aquatic-life-registration-734948178787?aff=ebdsoporgprofile</a>.</p>America/Chicago2024-07-29T17:00:00America/Chicago2024-07-29T19:00:00en-USOther,Presentationshttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/lsu-science-cafe-algae-the-key-to-all-aquatic-life-registration-734948178787?aff=ebdsoporgprofileVarsity Theatre @ 3353 Highland Road Baton Rouge, LA 708020https://www.laseagrant.org/event/lsu-science-cafe-algae/externalhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/lsu-science-cafe-algae-the-key-to-all-aquatic-life-registration-734948178787?aff=ebdsoporgprofileai1ec-14239@www.laseagrant.org2026-06-07T14:43:53ZLSU Science Café: Algae: Bayou Harvest<p>Subsistence fishing and gardening in South Louisiana is neither recreational nor commercial and therefore rarely documented. Louisiana’s subsistence foodways rely on exchanges between gardeners, hunters, shrimpers, crabbers and fishers in coastal communities. Citrus, cucumbers, crabs and duck are often shared with neighbors, relatives and friends in 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 publication of a new book, Bayou Harvest: Subsistence Practice in Coastal Louisiana, 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.</p> <p><strong>About the Speaker</strong></p> <p>Helen A. Regis is a professor and cultural anthropologist in the Department of Geography & Anthropology at LSU. She has authored several books, including Fulbe Voices: Marriage, Islam and Medicine in Northern Cameroon, Charitable Choices: Religion, Race and Poverty in the Post-Welfare Era (with John Bartkowski) and is a contributing editor of The House of Dance & Feathers: A Museum by Ronald W. Lewis (with Rachel Breunlin and Ronald Lewis). Her most recent book (with Shana Walton) is Bayou Harvest: Subsistence Practice in Coastal Louisiana (2024). As series editor for the Neighborhood Story Project, Regis has helped create a new canon of collaborative ethnography written by and for New Orleanians about their communities. Her publicly engaged scholarship was recognized by LSU in 2023 with the Brij Mohan Distinguished Professor Award.</p> <p>Tickets: <a class="ai1ec-ticket-url-exported" href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lsu-science-cafe-bayou-harvest-registration-734950405447?aff=ebdsoporgprofile">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lsu-science-cafe-bayou-harvest-registration-734950405447?aff=ebdsoporgprofile</a>.</p>America/Chicago2024-08-27T17:00:00America/Chicago2024-08-27T19:00:00en-USOther,Presentationshttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/lsu-science-cafe-bayou-harvest-registration-734950405447?aff=ebdsoporgprofileVarsity Theatre @ 3353 Highland Road Baton Rouge, LA 708020https://www.laseagrant.org/event/lsu-science-cafe-bayou-harvest/externalhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/lsu-science-cafe-bayou-harvest-registration-734950405447?aff=ebdsoporgprofileai1ec-15008@www.laseagrant.org2026-06-07T14:43:53ZRemote Sensing Techniques for Coastal Monitoring<p>Join the NC and LA Sea Grant – Space Grant 2024 Fellowship Cohort for a virtual presentation and open discussion on the use of remote sensing for coastal monitoring.</p> <p>Fellows will share insights on various remote sensing applications for coastal monitoring, followed by an open discussion.
