This document focuses on three issues: sea grass research, sea grass management/policy, and sea grass education/outreach. These activities have taken place since 1995. Due to statutory management authority over coastal public waters or biological resources, three state agencies (Texas Parks and Wildlife, Texas General Land Office, and Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission) have taken the lead in guiding plan development. The Corpus Christi Bay and Galveston Bay National Estuary Programs were also involved. This approach provides a resource management and conservation model that can be implemented on a local level.sea grassresearchenvironmental protectionwater qualitydredgingconservationconferencessedimentslegislationresource managementeducationseagrassesrestoration ecologyTechnical Report
