CEI’s Founder and Mentor to Many
“He was the Paul Revere figure in proclaiming the extent and rates of loss in the early days, raising awareness of the problem more than anyone else at that time,”
- Charles “Chip” Groat, former director of the U.S. Geological Survey.
“Dr. Gagliano was truly one of the founding fathers of Louisiana’s coastal program and his work marked a turning point on how we approach the problem both informed by science and in terms of scale,”
“History has shown that one person can make a difference, and that certainly applies to Woody Gagliano,” Haase added. “Louisiana owes him a great debt for not only sounding the alarm in our coastal crisis, but for never giving up when few would listen. ”
- Bren Haase, executive director of the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority.
“His vision allowed Louisiana to be years or decades ahead of where we would have been without Woody Gagliano, He will be missed, but thank God we can stand upon his shoulders.”
- Rep. Garret Graves, R-Baton Rouge, and former chairman of the CPRA board.
DR. Sherwood M. “Woody” Gagliano
