Welcome to the Galveston Bay Estuary Program

It's that time of year again! If you're looking for environmental education, visit Here in Houston for local resources for programs, curriculum, and lesson plans available to formal and informal educators.

Students and interns learn about sampling protocols for the Targeted Bacteria Monitoring Project, a partnership with GBEP, Bayou Preservation Association, and the Student Conservation Association. Find out more about this project and others on our current projects page .

The State of the Bay website is now available and filled with historical information and up-to-date analysis of the conditions in and around Galveston Bay. The State of the Bay Report was transformed into an interactive website by the Houston Advanced Research Center and is an excellent resource for the Galveston Bay community.
