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 the state protect and enhance the unique, culturally significant, and economically important resources of Texas’s coastal and marine environments.
*brands that leap was approached by TXSG to design their 2,900 sq ft rotating gallery to celebrate their 50th anniversary. We invited another exhibit designer, MaryAnna Murphy, to partner with us for her subject matter expertise and were contracted mid-July 2019 with the original opening date of February 2021. Of course, the pandemic changed that. The exhibit was open from July 1, 2021 through July 5, 2022. After it closed, portions of the exhibit were spread throughout the state to continue sharing their story.
At this exhibit, visitors can discover the wonders of the Texas coast, learn how sea turtles are saved by Turtle Excluder Devices (by walking through a shrimper’s net), find out how experts build communities for the changing Texas coast, see how Texas Sea Grant has helped these efforts and more.
Visitors will learn about historic and current Texas Sea Grant programs and successes, and they will realize their own impact as stewards of the Texas coast.
