September 01, 2022
An 海角社区 Libraries exhibition, 鈥淲ater, Water Everywhere: Control and Consequence in Louisiana鈥檚 Coastal Wetlands,鈥� on display in Hill Memorial Library from Sept. 6 鈥� Dec. 21, 2022, tells the story of Louisiana鈥檚 relationship with water, as revealed in photographs, family papers, business records and a variety of publications that document the infinitely meandering waterways, human attempts to control them and the adversarial attitude toward the marsh embraced in the not-too distant past.
鈥淐oastal research is an important pillar of 海角社区 President Tate鈥檚 鈥楽cholarship First鈥� agenda of priorities, and rightly so. Coastal land loss is one of the most serious environmental issues facing our state,鈥� said Gina Costello, 海角社区 Libraries鈥� associate dean of technology and special collections.
