Public Lab is an open community which collaboratively develops accessible, open source, Do-It-Yourself technologies for investigating local environmental health and justice issues.
Public Lab's Gulf Coast Chapter is proud to announce that we are the recipients of a 2014 EPA Urban Waters Grant!
This exciting new project will bring together volunteers and local community members to discover and use Public Lab technologies to track the progress of eight urban wetland restoration projects near Lake Pontchartrain. Through training sessions and field work, Gulf Coast residents will have the opportunity to learn and use the arial photography tools to map and monitor the health of our local restoration sites. To get involved sign up for the plots-GulfCoast mailing list and stay tuned for workshops and mapping events!
Welcome to The Public Lab Gulf Coast Page
We are: engaged citizens, researchers, educators, community organizers, hackers, more and all of the above! Since 2010 we’ve been working hard on spearheading many projects, developing DIY technology and spending time in the community working to celebrate our natural resources and the protection of them.
Some of our projects have included mapping of the BP Oil Spill in 2010, continued mapping and monitoring of the Barataria Bay focusing on the importance of our wetlands and restoration and working with other public labbers to develop the DIY spectrometer! For a better view of our projects and the people involved in them, see our timeline below, the research tab and search the tag gulf-coast on the Public Lab page.
Our office is located in New Orleans, LA at 4035 Washington Ave. Stop in and say hello!
If you're interested in proposing a project, want to conduct your own mapping session or just want to hear about how you can get involved please contact us through the google group, and we'll help you get started (equipment, training, finding volunteers, etc.).
2014 Plans and Projects
Samples with Spectrometry! August 31st at Propeller! For more information visit our page here.
Save the Date for the 2014 annual Barnraising in Cocodrie, Louisiana! We'll be convening for our annual gathering from November 13-16, 2014.
MapKnitter Club meetings! If you're interested in the technical side of making maps and want to get involved, please join the plots-gulfcoast@googlegroups.com to hear about ongoing mapknitting and plans.
We have completed the mapping project of the Barataria Bay. Stay tuned for the upcoming publication!
Public Lab participated in DredgeFest: Mapping five sites ahead of time and collaborating with the Dredge Research Collective to create annotated maps that were used in the main DredgeFest event in January 2014.
Past Projects
2013
Barnraising archived information on the Barnraising: http://publiclab.org/wiki/barnraising-2013.
Public Lab received a grant from Patagonia Clothing Company to do aerial mapping of twenty sites in Barataria Bay that grassroots mappers had previously worked at in 2011. The project is set to run between October 2013 and October 2014.
Public Lab has been working with a team at NASA DEVELOP, based at Stennis Space Station, using the DIY spectrometer to look at refinery flares. To view related research notes, search for the tag "flare".
Since May 2010, we have been using balloon mapping to capture aerial imagery of spill-affected sites in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. Our work on the Gulf Coast in 2010, was done in cooperation with groups such as the Louisiana Bucket Brigade and the University of South Alabama on a community-led monitoring of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The data has been gathered can be viewed in:
While mapping the oil spill, we were not trying to duplicate the satellite or flyover imagery (though we helped to coordinate some of the flyovers and tried to ensure that the data was publicly accessible). Instead, we were helping Gulf Coast residents to use balloons, kites, and other simple and inexpensive tools to produce their own documentation of the disaster and hoping that such data collection will continue to support environmental research, policy, and regulatory changes in coming years.

Public Lab received a grant from Patagonia Clothing Company to do aerial mapping of twenty sites in Barataria Bay that grassroots mappers had previously worked at in 2011. The project is set to run between October 2013 and October 2014.
Public Lab has been working with a team at NASA DEVELOP, based at Stennis Space Station, using the DIY spectrometer to look at refinery flares. To view related research notes, search for the tag "flare".
Since May 2010, we have been using balloon mapping to capture aerial imagery of spill-affected sites in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. Our work on the Gulf Coast in 2010, was done in cooperation with groups such as the Louisiana Bucket Brigade and the University of South Alabama on a community-led monitoring of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The data has been gathered can be viewed in:
While mapping the oil spill, we were not trying to duplicate the satellite or flyover imagery (though we helped to coordinate some of the flyovers and tried to ensure that the data was publicly accessible). Instead, we were helping Gulf Coast residents to use balloons, kites, and other simple and inexpensive tools to produce their own documentation of the disaster and hoping that such data collection will continue to support environmental research, policy, and regulatory changes in coming years.
Public Lab's Gulf Coast Chapter is proud to announce that we are the recipients of a 2014 EPA Urban Waters Grant!
This exciting new project will bring together volunteers and local community members to discover and use Public Lab technologies to track the progress of eight urban wetland restoration projects near Lake Pontchartrain. Through training sessions and field work, Gulf Coast residents will have the opportunity to learn and use the arial photography tools to map and monitor the health of our local restoration sites. To get involved sign up for the plots-GulfCoast mailing list and stay tuned for workshops and mapping events!
Welcome to The Public Lab Gulf Coast Page! We are: engaged citizens, researchers, educators, community organizers, hackers, more and all of the above! Since 2010 we’ve been working hard on spearheading many projects, developing DIY technology and spending time in the community working to celebrate our natural resources and the protection of them.
Some of our projects have included mapping of the BP Oil Spill in 2010, continued mapping and monitoring of the Barataria Bay focusing on the importance of our wetlands and restoration and working with other public labbers to develop the DIY spectrometer! For a better view of our projects and the people involved in them, see our timeline below, the research tab and search the tag gulf-coast on the Public Lab page.
Our office is located in New Orleans, LA at 4035 Washington Ave. Stop in and say hello!
If you're interested in proposing a project, want to conduct your own mapping session or just want to hear about how you can get involved please contact us through the google group, and we'll help you get started (equipment, training, finding volunteers, etc.).

2014 Plans and Projects
Save the Date for the 2014 annual Barnraising in Cocodrie, Louisiana! We'll be convening for our annual gathering from November 13-16, 2014.
MapKnitter Club meetings! If you're interested in the technical side of making maps and want to get involved, please join the plots-gulfcoast@googlegroups.com to hear about ongoing mapknitting and plans.
We’re continuing to map the Barataria Bay. If you're interested in getting involved-- participating in mapping trips or doing image stitching -- please contact Scott Eustis or Shannon Dosemagen. Contact information is below. We'll be using a wiki page to organize this project: http://publiclab.org/wiki/barataria-bay-mapping-project.
Public Lab participated in DredgeFest: Mapping five sites ahead of time and collaborating with the Dredge Research Collective to create annotated maps that were used in the main DredgeFest event in January 2014.
Past Projects
2013
-Barnraising- Archived information on the Barnraising: http://publiclab.org/wiki/barnraising-2013.
Public Lab received a grant from Patagonia Clothing Company to do aerial mapping of twenty sites in Barataria Bay that grassroots mappers had previously worked at in 2011. The project is set to run between October 2013 and October 2014.
Public Lab has been working with a team at NASA DEVELOP, based at Stennis Space Station, using the DIY spectrometer to look at refinery flares. To view related research notes, search for the tag "flare".
Since May 2010, we have been using balloon mapping to capture aerial imagery of spill-affected sites in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. Our work on the Gulf Coast in 2010, was done in cooperation with groups such as the Louisiana Bucket Brigade and the University of South Alabama on a community-led monitoring of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The data has been gathered can be viewed in:
While mapping the oil spill, we were not trying to duplicate the satellite or flyover imagery (though we helped to coordinate some of the flyovers and tried to ensure that the data was publicly accessible). Instead, we were helping Gulf Coast residents to use balloons, kites, and other simple and inexpensive tools to produce their own documentation of the disaster and hoping that such data collection will continue to support environmental research, policy, and regulatory changes in coming years.
The Public Lab Gulf Coast office is located in New Orleans, LA at 4035 Washington Ave. You can join other Gulf Coast Public Labbers through our Gulf Coast Google Group (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/plots-gulfcoast), where we announce events in the Gulf Coast region and projects that you can get involved with. If you're interested in proposing a project, a new focus in the Gulf Coast region or want to conduct your own mapping session, please contact us, and we'll help you get started (equipment, training, finding volunteers, etc.).

To get involved, please contact Scott Eustis or Shannon Dosemagen.
The Gulf Coast region will be piloting a "Map Stitching Team". Similar to the work done during the BP oil spill in 2010, the corp will be a way for people, from anywhere in the world, to get involved in helping to provide technical assistance and do image stitching of data being collected in the Gulf Region, specially during the Barataria Bay project. To get involved, please contact the Public Lab Cartography Collective.
