Gulf Oil Spill Scientific Symposium - Consortium for Ocean Leadership
More Information
The BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill is having significant ecological impacts on the Gulf of Mexico and coastal states
in the region. As the nation responds to this unprecedented spill, non-federal scientists can play a major role in the
efforts to understand and combat the impacts of this spill. The Consortium for Ocean Leadership is hosting this symposium to identify for the federal agencies the existing gaps in the scientific knowledge; opportunities
to fill those gaps; and priorities for short- and long-term research needs to understand the impact of the spill on the
Gulf ecosystems and human health. Ocean Leadership is working with NOAA and other government organizations as
partners of this event. June 2-3

More Information
The Louisiana Coastal Area (LCA) Ecosystem Restoration Plan was established to reverse the degradation trend of the Louisiana coastal ecosystem. The LCA Plan emphasizes the use of restoration strategies towards achieving and sustaining a coastal ecosystem that can support and protect the environment, economy, and culture of southern Louisiana. The LCA study area, which includes the Louisiana coastal area from Mississippi to Texas, is comprised of two wetland-dominated ecosystems, the Deltaic Plain of the Mississippi River and the closely linked Chenier Plain, both of which are influenced by the Mississippi River.

The S&T Program supports the LCA Ecosystem Restoration Plan by:
Providing the necessary science and technology to effectively address coastal ecosystem restoration needs
Providing analytical tools and recommendations to the Program Management Team for appropriate studies to reduce uncertainties
Integrating the roles and resources of the scientific community and other coastal protection agencies and partners at the state, local, and Federal level
Providing for internal and external technical review and a systematic approach for coordination with other ongoing and planned related research activities
LSU Joins Consortium to Study, Minimize Effects of Gulf Oil Spill
More Information
LSU has signed a Memorandum of Understanding, or MOU, with The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, or WHOI, and the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium, or LUMCON, to form a consortium called the Gulf Oil Research Program, or GORP.
According to the MOU, the purpose of the consortium is to work cooperatively to plan, secure funding for, execute and report on a program of scientific research to describe and quantify the effects of the oil spill on varied environments, communities and species in the affected region, and to develop and implement remediations where feasible.

Southeast Louisiana Refuges Complex Home Page
More Information
There are eight National Wildlife Refuges in the Southeast Louisiana (SELA) Refuges Complex. The mission of these refuges and the National Wildlife Refuge System is to administer a national network of lands and waters for the conservation, management and where appropriate, restoration of the fish, wildlife and plant resources and their habitats within the United States for the benefit of present and future generations of Americans. These refuges are representative of the rich and varied habitat and wildlife resources of the coastal region of the state. They are part of a network of over 540 refuges throughout the country that are administered by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS).
