About
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, The Water Institute and the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority have partnered to produce this forum, the need for which grows with every acre of land lost to the Gulf.
