Today is World Hydrography Day and GLDD celebrates the achievement and contribution of hydrographers worldwide! Hydrography is the science that measures and describes the physical features of bodies of water and adjacent land areas. Hydrography is a critical part of the dredging industry that allows us to properly plan and oversee the work we do on the ocean floor. Modern day dredging wouldn’t be possible without hydrographers who collect our hydrographic survey data. Pictured below, hydro survey vessel Pearl River is part of the GLDD survey fleet featuring multibeam and single beam capability for safely working offshore coastal projects.

#TeamCoastal is making waves this week in Washington D.C.!🌊Eighty-three coastal leaders from across the Gulf Coast attended over 100 meetings with Congressional offices from 31 states to advocate for coastal funding in our nation’s capital as part of the Sharing Offshore Revenues from Energy Resources Coalition (SHORES). This marks the largest fly-in ever! What is SHORES? It is a coalition of coastal stakeholders dedicated to advancing legislation focused on the revenue sharing of any offshore energy source. SHORES met with legislators to discuss the importance of increasing federal funding from revenue sharing through measures such as the RISEE and BREEZE Acts, which are essential for the future of our coastal states, communities, and ecosystems. 🌾 Thank you to all that joined us on this trip and for your commitment to ensuring our coast is preserved and protected for generations to come!💪 Our state’s leadership was unified in support, with Chairman Dove (CPRA), Secretary Tyler Gray (Louisiana Department of Energy and Natural Resources, Secretary Madison Sheahan (Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and Executive Director Glenn Ledet (CPRA) for participating. Special thanks to our Louisiana delegation for their strong support of the mission of SHORES – Speaker Mike Johnson, Congressman @Steve Scalise, U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, Senator John Kennedy, Congressman Garret Graves, Congressman TROY A.
