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.
