Louisiana Sea Grant w ill host the Coastal Connections Infographic Challenge for University of N ew Orleans students in the Fall 2023 as part of Innovate UNO week events. The competition is open to UNO undergraduate and graduate students conduct ing coastal research—including\, but not limited to the fields of anthropo logy\, biology\, design\, ecology\, economics\, engineering\, geography\, geology\, history and sociology.
\nIn this competition\, students wi ll use a mixture of visual imagery and text to effectively communicate the ir research findings. An infographic is a tool that combines imagery\, tex t and statistical figures to easily convey a subject. They help communicat e information quickly and clearly. This Coastal Connections Competition fo cuses on the ability of students to consolidate their ideas\, crystalize t heir research discoveries and share them using the power of visual media.< /p>\n

It supports t he majority of aquatic organisms\, from the largest vertebrates to the mos t minuscule invertebrates\, including groups that are very important for f isheries and conservation\, such as fish\, shrimp\, oysters\, and corals.

Louisiana’s subsistence foodways rely on exchanges between gardeners\, hunters\, shrim pers\, crabbers and fishers in coastal communities. Citrus\, cucumbers\, c rabs and duck are often shared with neighbors\, relatives and friends in w ays that help build social bonds people rely on in good times and bad. Joi n us at LSU Science Café to learn about a research project that started af ter the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil disaster and just led to the publicatio n of a new book\, Bayou Harvest: Subsistence Practice in Coastal Louisiana \, which documents food harvesting and sharing in coastal communities. “Ou r first task was to figure out how to study it\,” researcher and author He len A.
