Agenda For LSU Session Only	Registration For LSU Session Only	Directions
The emergence and growth of the offshore oil and gas industry over the last fifty years affected the people, environment, and economy of the coastal communities along the Gulf of Mexico in many different ways. With the support of the New Orleans Region of the Minerals Management Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior, scholars from the University of Arizona, the University of Houston, the University Louisiana at Lafayette, and Louisiana State University have collaborated on a multi-year project to document and analyze the evolution of the offshore industry. On Friday, March 2, members of the research team will report on the project: Two morning sessions will take place at the annual meeting of the American Society for Environmental History at the Sheraton Baton Rouge Convention Center Hotel. Registration for the ASEH 2007 Conference is required for the morning sessions. Click here for the ASEH 2007 Conference and Registration Forms.
