The Tulane Institute on Water Resources Law and Policy will be cohosting a public forum on the public’s role in a number of ongoing initiatives important to the future of coastal Louisiana and its communities. Senior Research Fellow and Institute director Mark Davis will focus specifically on the public’s role in the BP Natural Resource Damage Assessment.
