Ever wonder how the changing climate impacts the ocean and our coast?


“Climate Change” is the topic of Saturday’s Gulf Lagniappe adult education workshop series at LUMCON (Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium) in Cocodrie. Dr. Brian Roberts is the presenter.

On May 21, a workshop titled “Salt Marsh Geology & Ecology,” featuring Dr. Alex Kolker, will provide first-hand lessons about Louisiana’s dynamic and unique coastal salt marshes.


Both workshops will be held at the DeFelice Marine Center. Workshops include a presentation by a LUMCON scientist, a tour of the marine center, a trip aboard the R/V Acadiana, lab activities and lunch in the LUMCON cafeteria.

Workshops are $10 per person, and are limited to those age 18 or older.

Pre-registration is highly recommended.
