The Texas Environmental Grantmakers Group's spring meeting is scheduled for Friday, April 27 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in Corpus Christi where HRI Executive Director Dr. Larry McKinney will speak on “The State of the Gulf of Mexico: What We Know, What We Do Not Know, and What We Need to Know about its Future.”

How Healthy is the Gulf of Mexico?
The Gulf is a place where the environment and economy both coexist and contend. We depend on its resilient nature to maintain a balance. We have come to expect the world's largest gulf to "snap back" into that equilibrium like a rubber band, from oil spills, hurricanes and the myriad array of insults generated by our living around it and depending upon it. What happens if the rubber band fails to snap back or even worse, breaks? We are at a pivot point in time where the Gulf's fate may be decided. We have the means to tip the scales in a positive direction and secure its resilient nature. We just need to decide to do it.

A representative from the Texas Alliance for America's Fish and Wildlife will also provide a brief update on the federal Recovering America's Wildlife Act.
