LUMCON builds and expands collaborations among marine scientists across Louisiana by removing barriers and providing tools that bolster scientific investigation. We promote scientific synthesis of information, concepts, and knowledge while supporting research and education across disciplinary, institutional, geographic, and demographic boundaries.
LUMCON uses education and outreach to enable the next generation of marine scientists and ocean-literate citizens. We enhance Louisiana Universities’ marine science curricula with skill- and place-based courses at the DeFelice Marine Center and by coordinating collaborative marine science courses across the Consortium. We are dedicated to strengthening and expanding opportunities for underserved and underrepresented students in marine science.
