We found a lot of treasure in our shell pile at the reef build!🍴🧜‍♀️ We're looking for artists & makers who can repurpose silverware & sauce cups that make their way into our oyster shell recycling bins. There's a whole more where this came from so don't be shy! Email Oysters@crcl.org to claim!

Cypress trees during golden hour >>>>

And look at all those seeds! If you come across a bald cypress tree, you can collect its seeds and send them to us as part of our native seed drive! They’ll grow in our native plant nursery then be planted along the coast!

Our volunteers planted 25,000 plug of native dune grass along 2 miles of Grand Isle beach. This will help retain sand to develop dunes, limiting erosion and providing habitat!

Jefferson Parish Ecosystem & Coastal Management Department and CRCL are thankful to the CPRA for supporting this project!

This big coastal conference is a big deal! 🌊

CRCL hosted State of the Coast, the largest statewide conference of its kind. This years theme was “our changing coast,” providing an interdisciplinary forum to exchange info on the conditions of LA’s coastal communities, environment and economy.

These @lsu.bsky.social students have a goal to spread the message that wetlands are a valuable ecosystem to preserve in Louisiana and the world. Check out this article to find out what they’re doing.
LSU students lead the charge to protect Louisiana’s wetlands - Reveille
Louisiana boasts over three million acres of coastal wetlands, both fresh and saltwater. At LSU, a group of students are dedicated to preserving this ecosystem.

We had an outstanding turnout for yesterday’s lecture with Dr. Keagan LeJeune! Over one hundred people joined us to learn about how place names can tell stories and learn about what CRCL is doing to restore those places. Stay tuned for more CRCLectures!

In February, CRCL teamed up with the NFL, the Super Bowl Host Committee, FORCE BLUE & Chefs Brigade to build a living shoreline in Leeville. But we didn’t stop there! This fall, we constructed an oyster reef in Cocodrie with The Grand Caillou/Dulac Band of Biloxi-Chitimacha Choctaw & LUMCON.

Over six days, hundreds of volunteers helped deploy 200 tons of shell to help protect 650 ft of shoreline. It was a pleasure to partner with The Grand Caillou/Dulac Band of Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw & LUMCON. We’re excited to see the reef become habitat for wetlands species & oyster growth.

Hmmm, I wonder why these birds are standing under this cypress tree. They must be collecting seeds for CRCL’s native seed drive – and you can too!

Collect bald cypress seeds and send them to us! We'll use them to plant trees we can plant across the coast!
