Why Consider a Career in Coastal Restoration & Water Quality in New Orleans? 

If you’re passionate about making a tangible impact on the environment and helping protect one of the most unique ecosystems in the U.S., a career in coastal restoration and water quality in the New Orleans area could be your perfect fit. Here’s why:

  • A Critical Need for Environmental Stewardship
    The Louisiana coast is home to some of the nation’s most vibrant ecosystems—yet it’s also one of the most vulnerable. Coastal erosion, land loss, and water pollution threaten not only the local wildlife but also the economy and way of life. Your work could directly contribute to preserving wetlands, restoring habitats, and ensuring clean water for generations to come.
  • A Thriving, Diverse Ecosystem to Protect
    From the Mississippi River Delta to the Gulf of Mexico, the New Orleans area is a hub of biodiversity. Wetlands here provide critical breeding grounds for fish, birds, and other wildlife, and also serve as natural barriers against storms. Your expertise in restoration and water quality would play a key role in safeguarding these vital ecosystems.
  • A Growing Field with New Opportunities
    As climate change accelerates, the demand for professionals skilled in environmental science, engineering, and policy is on the rise. The New Orleans area is home to numerous initiatives aimed at coastal restoration, creating a wealth of opportunities for individuals looking to make a difference in a growing, forward-thinking field.
  • Make a Real-World Impact
    This isn’t just a job—it’s a chance to be part of something bigger than yourself. By contributing to efforts like marsh restoration, sediment management, or water purification, you’re helping protect a unique culture and way of life. Plus, you’ll be working alongside a passionate community of environmental experts, engineers, policymakers, and local stakeholders.
  • A Strong, Supportive Community
    New Orleans is known for its resilient, collaborative spirit. The city is rich with professionals dedicated to ensuring the long-term health of its waters and wetlands. Whether you’re looking to work with local government, non-profits, or private companies, you’ll find a supportive network of peers and mentors.

Consider joining the movement to protect and restore the heart of Louisiana’s coastal beauty by becoming the Science Program Director at one of the leading environmental non-profits in the Pontchartrain Basin.  For more information, please contact Quincy Crawford, Executive Recruiter, Tangent West at qcrawford@tangentwest.com or 504-952-9139.
