Through WETshop, teachers work with scientists to learn about Louisiana coastal wetlands, issues, and history. WETshop focuses on making teachers into wetland stewards so they can educate their coworkers and students in their home parishes about coastal land loss and restoration. Workshop experiences provide teachers ideas to incorporate Louisiana phenomena-based science into the classroom at all grade levels. After teachers complete the workshop, we encourage them to implement a 6-hour wetland stewardship project in their parish with their students and community.</p> <p>Teachers interested in WETSHOP 2023 can visit <a href="https://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/page/for-teachers">www.wlf.louisiana.gov/page/for-teachers</a> or contact Heather David at <a href="mailto:hdavid@wlf.la.gov">hdavid@wlf.la.gov</a> with questions.</p> <p>Tickets: <a class="ai1ec-ticket-url-exported" href="https://ldwf.wufoo.com/forms/wetshop-2023/">https://ldwf.wufoo.com/forms/wetshop-2023/</a>.</p>2023-07-092023-07-15en-USWorkshopsHeather David; hdavid@wlf.la.gov; https://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/page/for-teachersLDWF Marine Research Lab @ Grand Isle, LA0https://www.laseagrant.org/event/ldwf-wetshop/externalen-USEducation$50https://ldwf.wufoo.com/forms/wetshop-2023/ai1ec-13153@www.laseagrant.org2026-04-15T01:28:35ZNMEA Annual Conference 2023<div id="block-yui_3_17_2_1_1585780028677_22831" class="sqs-block markdown-block sqs-block-markdown" data-block-type="44"> <div class="sqs-block-content"> <section id="2023-info" class="Index-page" data-collection-id="62cf1d54f4e33b16e9e3c2a9" data-parallax-id="62cf1d54f4e33b16e9e3c2a9" data-edit-main-image="Background"> <div class="Index-page-content "> <div id="page-62cf1d54f4e33b16e9e3c2a9" class="sqs-layout sqs-grid-12 columns-12" data-type="page" data-updated-on="1657741278564"> <div class="row sqs-row"> <div class="col sqs-col-12 span-12"> <div id="block-15f25ed729bfe61ca0eb" class="sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html" data-block-type="2"> <div class="sqs-block-content"> <p class="">NAME (<a href="https://www.pacname.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Northwest Aquatic and Marine Educators</a>) is excited to be the host for the NMEA 2023 annual conference—a special event that brings together hundreds of professional educators dedicated to teaching about our marine, coastal and aquatic environments.

They build reefs that slow storm 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 temperature, more freshwater flooding, and planned restoration projects.</p> <p>In this workshop, we will explore elements of an oyster’s biology and its 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 address state standards in both science and social studies.</p> <p><a href="https://www.laseagrant.org/education/pd/oyster/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more about the workshop</a></p>2023-12-162023-12-18en-USWorkshopsDani DiIullo; ddiiullo@lsu.edu; https://www.laseagrant.org/education/pd/oyster/Grand Isle, LA0https://www.laseagrant.org/event/teacher-oyster-workshop-dec2023/freethumbnail;https://www.laseagrant.org/wp-content/uploads/PD-Oyster-Workshop-Dec2023.jpg;232;300,medium;https://www.laseagrant.org/wp-content/uploads/PD-Oyster-Workshop-Dec2023.jpg;232;300,large;https://www.laseagrant.org/wp-content/uploads/PD-Oyster-Workshop-Dec2023.jpg;232;300,full;https://www.laseagrant.org/wp-content/uploads/PD-Oyster-Workshop-Dec2023.jpg;232;300en-USEducationai1ec-7456@www.laseagrant.org2026-04-15T01:28:35ZDeadline: NOAA Fisheries-Sea Grant Fellowship applications due2024-01-252024-01-26en-USDeadlineshttp://www.laseagrant.org/opportunities/fellowships/fisheries/0https://www.laseagrant.org/event/deadline-fisheries/freeai1ec-5153@www.laseagrant.org2026-04-15T01:28:35ZSAME Annual Meeting<p>Tickets: <a class="ai1ec-ticket-url-exported" href="https://tinyurl.com/SAMEhome">https://tinyurl.com/SAMEhome</a>.</p>2024-01-262024-01-29en-USMeetingshttps://fb.me/e/2s69xHX7M?mibextid=RQdjqZThe Learning Campus at Gulf State Park @ Gulf Shores, AL0https://www.laseagrant.org/event/same-annual-meeting/externalen-USEducationhttps://tinyurl.com/SAMEhomeai1ec-13756@www.laseagrant.org2026-04-15T01:28:35ZOcean Sciences Meeting<p>The Ocean Sciences Meeting (OSM) is the flagship conference for the ocean sciences and the larger ocean-connected community.  The 2024 meeting will be held in New Orleans 18-23 February 2024.</p>2024-02-182024-02-24en-USConferences,Meetingshttps://www.agu.org/ocean-sciences-meetingErnest N.

This is a new project developed in collaboration between the Louisiana Space Grant and Louisiana Sea Grant programs. Likely areas of research focus would include earth science, coastal studies, remote sensing, 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 proposed 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.</p> <p>The intent of the LaSSO program is to supplement and enhance the undergraduate academic curriculum by providing the science/engineering student with a hands-on, mentored research experience relevant to space, earth, coastal, and/or marine sciences. A LaSSO project will be a joint effort between a faculty researcher, who serves as mentor and project Principal Investigator, and an undergraduate researcher. Proposals must clearly identify the Mission Directorate/NASA Center/Research Division at NASA <strong>and</strong> the Louisiana Sea Grant’s strategic plan research priority/NOAA Research Division being addressed by this project. Projects focused exclusively on NASA Research not of relevance to Louisiana Sea Grant should be submitted to the LaSPACE <a href="https://laspace.lsu.edu/lura/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LURA program. </a></p> <p><strong>More Info:</strong> <a href="https://laspace.lsu.edu/lasso-la-space-sea-grant-opportunity/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Louisiana Space & Sea grant Opportunities (LaSSO) for Undergraduate Research Program</a></p>America/Chicago2024-06-25T23:59:00en-USDeadlineshttps://laspace.lsu.edu/lasso-la-space-sea-grant-opportunity/0https://www.laseagrant.org/event/deadline-lasso/free1ai1ec-14223@www.laseagrant.org2026-04-15T01:28:35ZDeadline: Van Lopik Scholarship Program applications due<p>Dr. Jack Van Lopik, the first and longest serving Director of the Louisiana Sea Grant College Program at LSU, and his wife Annagreta Hojhdal Van Lopik, established the Dr. Jack and Annagreta Hojhdal Van Lopik Superior Graduate Student Scholarship (Van Lopik Scholarship) to assist graduate students pursuing advanced degrees in disciplines related to the mission and focus areas of the Louisiana Sea Grant College Program, as detailed in the Strategic Plan of the organization.

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.

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-11414@www.laseagrant.org2026-04-15T01:28:35ZApplication deadline for Louisiana SciComm SummitAmerica/Chicago2024-09-06T16:00:00en-USDeadlineshttp://www.laseagrant.org/outreach/ladia/lascicomm/0https://www.laseagrant.org/event/deadline-scicomm/freeen-USLaDIA1ai1ec-14338@www.laseagrant.org2026-04-15T01:28:35Z2024 Aquatic Foods Conference Traceability Webinar<p>Tickets: <a class="ai1ec-ticket-url-exported" href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/aquatic-foods-conference-food-traceability-rule-webinar-tickets-965176096687?aff=erelexpmlt">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/aquatic-foods-conference-food-traceability-rule-webinar-tickets-965176096687?aff=erelexpmlt</a>.</p>America/Chicago2024-10-01T14:00:00America/Chicago2024-10-01T15:30:00en-USMeetings,Otherhttps://aquaticfoodsconference.com/Virtual Meeting on Zoom0https://www.laseagrant.org/event/2024-aquatic-foods-conference/external$30; Students Free.https://www.eventbrite.com/e/aquatic-foods-conference-food-traceability-rule-webinar-tickets-965176096687?aff=erelexpmltai1ec-14329@www.laseagrant.org2026-04-15T01:28:35ZLouisiana Shrimp Festival and Shrimp Aid<p><strong>A Celebration of our Shrimpers and their Coastal Communities</strong></p> <p>The Louisiana Shrimp Festival/Shrimp Aid aims to raise awareness about the challenges faced by our local shrimp and fishing industries while creating new economic opportunities for our coastal fishing communities and the broader regional seafood sector.

Through WETshop, participants work with scientists to learn about Louisiana coastal wetlands, issues, and history. Workshop experiences provide educators with ideas to incorporate Louisiana phenomena-based science into various classroom settings at all grade levels. One of the main goals of WETshop is wetland stewardship so that participants can implement a 6-hour project to educate coworkers, students, and/or community members in their work parishes about coastal land loss and restoration.</p> <p>Application Deadline: April 25, 2025</p>America/Chicago2025-07-13T08:00:00America/Chicago2025-07-18T17:00:00en-USLindsay Seely; lseely@wlf.la.gov; https://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/page/wetshopLDWF Marine Research Lab @ Grand Isle, LA0https://www.laseagrant.org/event/wetshop-2025/free$50.00ai1ec-15103@www.laseagrant.org2026-04-15T01:28:35ZSanitation Control Procedures (SCP) for Fish<div id="attachment_15101" style="width: 910px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://www.laseagrant.org/event/visioning-the-future-of-our-louisiana-oyster-industry/scp-202508-4/" rel="attachment wp-att-15101"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-15101" class="wp-image-15101 size-large" src="https://www.laseagrant.org/wp-content/uploads/SCP-202508.4-1024x336.jpg" alt="Image: Beyond to Boat Seafood Processing Lab slider" width="900" height="295" srcset="https://www.laseagrant.org/wp-content/uploads/SCP-202508.4-1024x336.jpg 1024w, https://www.laseagrant.org/wp-content/uploads/SCP-202508.4-300x98.jpg 300w, https://www.laseagrant.org/wp-content/uploads/SCP-202508.4-768x252.jpg 768w, https://www.laseagrant.org/wp-content/uploads/SCP-202508.4-1536x504.jpg 1536w, https://www.laseagrant.org/wp-content/uploads/SCP-202508.4-2048x671.jpg 2048w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a><p id="caption-attachment-15101" class="wp-caption-text">Click to enlarge</p></div>America/Chicago2025-08-04T08:00:00America/Chicago2025-08-04T16:30:00en-USAnne Dugas; annedugas@agcenter.lsu.edu; https://lsuagcenter.regfox.com/sanitation-control-procedures-for-fish-and-fishery-productsLSU Campus – Efferson Hall, Room 2120https://www.laseagrant.org/event/sanitation-control-procedures-scp-for-fish/externalthumbnail;https://www.laseagrant.org/wp-content/uploads/SCP-202508.4-1024x336.jpg;900;295,medium;https://www.laseagrant.org/wp-content/uploads/SCP-202508.4-1024x336.jpg;900;295,large;https://www.laseagrant.org/wp-content/uploads/SCP-202508.4-1024x336.jpg;900;295,full;https://www.laseagrant.org/wp-content/uploads/SCP-202508.4-1024x336.jpg;900;295$210ai1ec-15635@www.laseagrant.org2026-04-15T01:28:35ZDisaster Preparedness and Recovery Workshop<p>Join us for a Disaster Preparedness and Recovery Workshop on August 5, 2025!</p> <p>Enjoy a meal while learning about resources to help you prepare for and recover from natural disasters.
