The
Louisiana Sea Grant College Program is proud to host Ocean Commotion
2009 at the LSU Pete Maravich Assembly Center on Thursday, October 22, 2009. Each year Ocean Commotion brings about 3,000 area
students, teachers and chaperones to LSU to learn about our coast and
sea from about 60 exhibitors.
Exhibits are provided by LSU researchers and public and
private organizations. Exhibit viewing is divided into two time slots,
each two hours in length, with the early time slot reserved for grades
5-8 students and the other reserved for K-4 students.
The primary purpose of Ocean Commotion is to give students
the chance to learn about and touch the products of the sea and coast—the
aquatic animals, plants, and minerals—upon which Louisiana's citizens
are so dependent.
