Mission Statement

     Texas Sea Grant’s mission is to develop a better understanding of Texas coastal resources through research, outreach and educational programs in support of sustainable use and conservation of those resources for the benefit of the economy and environment. Texas Sea Grant exists as one of 31 university-based programs funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to implement the agency’s overarching mission by enlisting the academic research community, engaging coastal communities and providing marine education to all age groups. The Texas Sea Grant mission is most simply stated in our motto: Coastal Science Serving Texans.
