Pontchartrain Conservancy

🍎🌊 Thank you to all of the incredible teachers who joined us at the New Canal Lighthouse for our Coastal Land Loss Professional Development Workshop!

During the workshop, teachers explored the causes of coastal land loss, learned about solutions to help restore and protect Louisiana's coast, and took home classroom materials to help students build and test their own models of the Mississippi River. By experimenting with diversions, levees, and other restoration features, students can see firsthand how these tools shape our changing coast.

Thank you to the dedicated K–12 teachers from across the Pontchartrain Basin for investing your time in bringing coastal science into your classrooms. Together, we're inspiring the next generation of coastal stewards! 💙🌎
