We invite you or your organization to sign-on to the position statement either as an individual or as an organization. This position aligns with LA SAFE‘s strategy 5 and NOAA’s Theory of Change: Causal Pathways 1, 2, 3, and 4 cited below.

The Bayou Culture Collaborative Position Statement is a starting point and living tool. It is not a comprehensive policy vision, nor does it promote specific adaptation or management strategies. We nonetheless believe in the urgent need to explore the issues, consider the options, and ultimately make recommendations to state and local leadership that center the people and cultures of Louisiana. We also acknowledge the tremendous challenges of finding balance, common ground, and synergy in this endeavor. 

Individuals may include their affiliation for descriptive purposes and not imply that the organization has officially signed-on in support.

Organizations must authorize signing-on. See more about the Bayou Culture Collaborative and the position statement here.
