If there is anything that the Galveston Bay Estuary Program can do to assist during this challenging time, please don't hesitate to reach out.

National Estuaries Week takes place from September 19-26, 2020. As one of two estuary programs in Texas, GBEP is excited to have such great partners who work every day to protect and preserve one of Texas’ most valuable resources. The goal of #EstuariesWeek is to create broad public awareness and support for our nation’s estuaries and coasts and to encourage active engagement and participation with local estuaries through volunteer and educational events. Visit our Resources page for more information as well as photos to share on social media throughout the week.
