Kate Tannian

Lighthouse Programs and Interpretation Manager - Pontchartrain Conservancy

A pioneering force in the world of environmental advocacy and education, Kate Tannian was named the 2024 Sadie Roberts-Joseph Excellence in Community Outreach award recipient by the Louisiana Association of Museums (LAM). Her work to build curriculum using hands-on STEM activities is inspiring the next generation to become stewards of Louisiana’s precious ecosystems.

A key voice in the use of remote operated vehicles in education (a.k.a. underwater drones), Kate’s work continues to expand the scope of STEM programs that study water quality, coastal sustainability, and the protection of native plants within our Gulf Coast ecosystem.
