This experience offers participants a meaningful way to engage directly with coastal resilience work while learning about the legal, scientific, and policy challenges facing Louisiana’s coast.

ABOUT THE COALITION TO RESTORE COASTAL LOUISIANA (CRCL)
The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to unite people in action to achieve a thriving, sustainable Louisiana coast for all.
Incorporated in 1988, CRCL represents a unique mix of businesses, local governments, industries, scientific communities, national and local conservation groups, hunters, anglers and a broad spectrum of concerned residents who share a common vision and commitment to the sustainability of coastal Louisiana. The common vision of these varied and diverse interests is the driving strength of CRCL, the most effective and recognized coastal advocacy organization in the state.
CRCL advocates for science-based policies at local, state, and federal levels, helping shape the state's Coastal Master Plan and mitigation strategies. We engage the next generation and current coastal-minded professionals through programs like Future Coastal Leaders and the Coastal Leadership Institute. We also work hands-on in restoration efforts, such as the Oyster Shell Recycling and Native Plants programs.
This multifaceted, comprehensive, and coast-wide approach to coastal restoration distinguishes CRCL from every other civic and environmental group in the region. Like the Mississippi River Delta, our work is constantly evolving. You can be part of the solution.
