Louisiana Sea Grant Coastal Change Oral Histories Project
Subseries
South Cameron High School
Series Information
Description
Louisiana's coast is washing away at an alarming rate, and as the land disappears, residents are effected economically and culturally. In 2012, Louisiana Sea Grant partnered with the Williams Center and implemented an oral history project in which high school students in South Louisiana recorded information on coastal change and explored the implications of this change on their communities. One primary goal of the project, beyond creating primary resources documenting this phenomenon, was to increase environmental literacy among students who live in communities at risk and to engage them in a stewardship project that would help them interact with community elders through the use of oral history.
