🌊 Twelve teachers ventured into a fast-changing river 🐊 for two days. Take a look at our photo story on the Teacher PD workshop at Neptune Pass, where educators went knee-deep💧to see the delta build new land in real time, and learned what that means for the future of Louisiana's coast.

Who wants to go downriver tomorrow? No really, there are some seats open on tomorrow’s trip into the Birdsfoot Delta. We leave out of Cypress Cove Marina for 9:00 and should be back for 3:30ish. Leave a DM if you’re interested in joining. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can, likely this evening. The boat gets more smiles per gallon when there are more people in the boat. 😃 🚤

These connections are sooo important to get through some of the social hurdles in the way of letting nature do what it does best. Lots of dialed in folks from around the world were on this trip. Big thanks to the Meraux Foundation and Blaise Pezold for working behind the scenes to make it happen.
