The Wetlands Discovery Center serves as a hub to increase awareness of the plight of Louisiana’s wetlands and the people that live there.

Revolutionizing Coastal Education

Our program staff of Environmental Scientists develop and implement place-based lessons that empower students to navigate the environmental challenges they face as residents of coastal Louisiana.

ENVISIONING THE FUTURE

By inspiring the next generation of environmental scientist leaders to develop innovative technologies, we are fostering solutions that can make a real difference.
