The Harte Research Institute inaugurated the HRI Series in 2007 patterned after the successful Gulf Coast Books Series started by Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi in 2001. Both series are sponsored by TAMU-CC and published by Texas A&M University Press. They can be purchased from TAMU Press, Barnes and Noble or the University Bookstore.
!! NEW !! Our books are now offered as ebooks on Google Ebookstore and ebrary.

Bulletin 89 (30.71MB)
"Bulletin 89," as it is known and fondly remembered by past generations of Gulf scientists, was first published in 1954 as The Gulf of Mexico - Its Origins, Waters, and Marine Life by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. For decades it was the only comprehensive reference on the Gulf, but in recent years it has been primarily of only historical use. The vision was to update this highly-referenced volume at the beginning of a new century and to have HRI coordinate its development and release with partners in the U.S., Mexico, and Cuba. This state-of-knowledge compilation has now grown to seven volumes and is being published in the TAMUCC Harte Research Institute Studies Series by Texas A&M University Press.
