opportunity to spread the message about coastal restoration, habitat, land
loss and flood protection, among other things to a diverse national
audience. To do this we need exhibitors, like agencies, non profits, or
companies who can help get the coastal message out.
Exhibits and content will need to pass the VOW committee - no
sales,protest or political campaign messages will be allowed by
exhibitors.The exhibit entry fee is Free and tables/ chairs will be
provided. Please Contact Ed Landgraf at ed.landgraf@shell.com or 985 209
