Healthy Coastal Ecosystems

Texas Sea Grant works to ensure safe, secure, and sustainable supplies of domestic seafood and decrease our reliance on seafood imports.

Resilient Communities and Economies

To balance demands on coastal resources, Texas must develop innovative policies, institutional capacities, and management approaches that increase community resilience.

Texas Sea Grant promotes literacy by supporting students and the development of STEM educational programs, tools, and products.
