Description:TEXAS SEA GRANT has been turning challenges into opportunities since Texas A&M University was named one of the first Sea Grant institutions 50 years ago. At a time when we all feel challenged to adapt to new and emerging issues of concern to Texas and our nation, Texas Sea Grant continues to serve Texans by bridging the gap between knowledge and action to address societal problems. The unique partnership between the federal government (NOAA),the State of Texas, and universities across Texas fuels Texas Sea Grant’s greater purpose to create knowledge, tools, products, and services that help the coastal communities, marine industries, and the people of Texas. Throughout our history, faculty at Texas’ universities have been funded by Texas Sea Grant to study numerous issues significant to the Texas coast and its people. These topics include droughts, floods, fish kills, shrimp diseases, marine debris, oil spills, oyster reef collapse, sea turtle deaths, hurricanes, ocean acidification, and many other emerging issues of concern to Texas coastal communities and economies. The research Texas Sea Grant supports is relevant to the public, and our outreach, education, and engagement programs translate and communicate the results of this research to coastal communities and is responsive to the needs of Texas. Ultimately the research Texas Sea Grant funds produces necessary information to create tangible solutions, which we actively help Texans implement through our outreach and education programs. As we look forward to the next 50 years, Texas’ needs will continue to evolve and so will our adaptation strategies, but our purpose will remain the same. Texas Sea Grant will still look to challenges with optimism and create opportunities that better the lives of Texans. This annual report is for the year 2019 but published in September 2020.
