Saturday, October 18, the New Orleans Healing Center hosts its third annual Water Symposium, a daytime addition to the evening's Anba Dlo Halloween music, costume and arts festival.
The Water Symposium includes three panel discussions, from 12-4 p.m. at Café Istanbul. Topics include the future of Louisiana's coast, a look at the state's Master Plan and other large coastal engineering proposals, and a discussion of how to fund large coastal initiatives of any kind. The event is free and open to the public.
WWNO's Eve Troeh spoke with symposium presenter Gary Cecchine, Senior Natural Scientist and Director of the RAND Gulf States Policy Institute, and Water Symposium organizer Pres Kabacoff.
