It is the basis for our decision-making in the Coastal Master Plan and leads us in designing and implementing projects that will produce meaningful and lasting results,” said Gov. John Bel Edwards. “Establishing the Coastal Innovation and Collaboration Hub at the Water Institute of the Gulf further cements the role of science and the open sharing of information and collaboration as crucial elements of our success into the future.”
