Education 

Matagorda and San Antonio Bays are intricately connected to central Texas through our shared reliance on the freshwater provided by the Colorado, San Antonio, and Guadalupe rivers. As our communities grow, so does our demand on these precious water resources. It is vital for Texans to understand how our water use impacts the health of the coastal ecosystems that sustain our lives and livelihoods.

For centuries, these bays have played a crucial role in supporting our economy, providing clean water and air, and serving as a sustainable source of food. Now, it’s time to deepen our understanding and take meaningful action to preserve these invaluable resources.

The Matagorda Bay Foundation offers educational opportunities designed to engage Texans of all ages in learning about the importance of our bays and watersheds. From in-depth workshops and interactive classes to hands-on field experiences, we’re here to help you explore the science, history, and future of our coastal ecosystems.

By participating in our programs, you’ll gain the knowledge and skills needed to make informed decisions about water use and conservation. You’ll learn how to protect the habitats and wildlife that call our bays home and how to ensure these ecosystems remain healthy and productive for generations to come.
