State of the Coast
may 20-22, 2025
Ernest N. Morial Convention Center
New Orleans, LA
The State of the Coast (SOC) conference is the largest statewide conference of its kind, providing an interdisciplinary forum to exchange timely and relevant information on the dynamic conditions of Louisiana’s coastal communities, environment and economy. The Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana (CRCL) produces this forum, the need for which grows with every acre of land lost to the Gulf of Mexico, along with our partners: the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority of Louisiana and the Water Institute.
Plenary Speakers
We are pleased to announce the plenary speakers for SOC 2025. Join us as these key voices from the past, present and future of coastal Louisiana reflect on the lessons of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita 20 years later, the future of insurance in coastal areas, the legal legacy of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and more.
