A hallmark of Texas A&M University is its status as a land, sea-, and space-grant university. One of those programs — the Texas Sea Grant College Program is celebrating 50 years of science and stewardship at the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum!

As one of the first sea grant programs, Texas Sea Grant has a rich history of supporting the Texas coast and its people through cutting-edge research and innovative outreach and educational programs. From maintaining healthy coastal ecosystems to aiding sustainable fisheries to promoting resilient communities: Texas Sea Grant has helped Texans protect and enhance the unique, culturally significant, and economically important resources of Texas’ coastal and marine environments.
