University of Texas will characterize nutrient loading rates into the Lower Laguna Madre for subwatersheds by monitoring stream flow and water quality (particularly total nitrogen and phosphorus). This information will be used to evaluate Te
Texas A&M University–Kingsville will develop reliable and site-specific decision support tools to balance needs for freshwater inflows and reduce impacts of excess nutrient inputs in Nueces Bay.
The GLO will modernize the Beach Watch system and expand its capabilities to allow predictive modeling which will provide real-time, modeled information for the beach patron.
Coastal bays and estuaries are often subject to nonpoint source pollution from adjacent watersheds. Enrichment of nutrients can cause excessive algal blooms, exceedances of the dissolved oxygen standard, and serious community issues. Ad

The Coastal Bend Bays Foundation (CBBF) provided a series of outreach lectures targeted at community leaders in civic and business organizations. Adults outreach topics focused on the reduction of bay debris, the protection and management of shor
Galveston Bay Foundation (GBF) proposes to implement a nonpoint source (NPS) pollution reduction program at mobile home parks, marinas and apartment complexes highly susceptible to pollutant loading.
Mustang Beach is located on the western shore of the Gulf of Mexico in Nueces County, Texas.
The Bureau of Economic Geology at the University of Texas at Austin will create geoenvironmental atlases for Mustang Island and Galveston Island State Parks that highlight the geologic, geomorphic, and wetland features and coastal hazards unique to the
Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program will 1) repair existing and install new bollards and cable to protect the entire ~1,200 acre Mollie Beattie and Kate's Hole preserves by limiting access to certain areas within the preserves; 2) make impro
Water and habitat are degraded in and around marinas from boat sewage and introduction of dockside wastes from non-point sources. It has been demonstrated that the combination of poor circulation and discharge from boaters and boat maintenance op
