Bay Exploration

Celebrate the wonders of Galveston Bay!

As coastal prairie grasses give way to vibrant marshlands, discover how this rich estuarine ecosystem supports an incredible variety of plant and animal life.

Join us for a hands-on experience exploring the bay's dynamic habitat. Learn how tides shape life at the water's edge and find out what it takes to be a true defender of the bay !
