This is the s
econd Gulf of Mexico Coral Reef Symposium (the first was held at Rice in 2
018). The goals of this symposium are to gather information on current and
past research on the northern Gulf of Mexico reefs\, establish region-wid
e research goals (especially at the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sa
nctuary)\, and facilitate interdisciplinary research collaborations.
\n
The Louisiana
Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) continues its support
for an assistantship program called the Coastal Science Assistantship Pro
gram (CSAP). This program provides assistantships for up to three years to
support Master of Science students both enrolled full-time at Louisiana c
olleges/universities and involved in science or engineering research relev
ant to Louisiana coastal protection and restoration efforts.
\nWe will
be reimagining utilization of undervalued heritage fish species such as c
atfish and buffalo as well as blue crab.
\nLearn about smoking alter
natives for product development\, and how to address food safety concerns.
A variety of smoked products will be showcased and available for tasting.
\nBy-product recovery will be demonstrated utilizing a mechanical m
eat separator on both crab and fish carcasses.

DESCRIPTION:The Louisiana Space & Sea grant Opportunities (LaSSO) for Under
graduate Research Program is directed at science and engineering students
who are working on projects in research areas deemed a priority by both NA
SA and NOAA. This is a new project developed in collaboration between the
Louisiana Space Grant and Louisiana Sea Grant programs. Likely areas of re
search focus would include earth science\, coastal studies\, remote sensin
g\, and similar topics that are relevant to the NASA Earth Science and NOA
A missions. It is up to the proposers to provide evidence that the propose
d work is of interest to both Agencies. This is a 9.5-month award for $450
0 with a requirement of at least $3500 going directly to the student.\nThe
intent of the LaSSO program is to supplement and enhance the undergraduat
e academic curriculum by providing the science/engineering student with a
hands-on\, mentored research experience relevant to space\, earth\, coasta
l\, and/or marine sciences. A LaSSO project will be a joint effort between
a faculty researcher\, who serves as mentor and project Principal Investi
gator\, and an undergraduate researcher. Proposals must clearly identify t
he Mission Directorate/NASA Center/Research Division at NASA and the Louis
iana Sea Grant’s strategic plan research priority/NOAA Research Division b
eing addressed by this project. Projects focused exclusively on NASA Resea
rch not of relevance to Louisiana Sea Grant should be submitted to the LaS
