Sportfish populations in the estuaries and offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico support a multibillion-dollar recreational fishing industry. This lecture will feature some of the Sportfish Center’s key research contributions since being established in 2013 as well as highlight some ongoing and upcoming projects to address current fishery management needs.

Waterbird populations are often limited by the availability of foraging habitat, either by natural fluctuations and geomorphology or by human activities and sea level rise. This study proposes to develop intertidal foraging habitat models for four imperiled wading birds and evaluate potential changes due to sea level rise

Hosted by TAMU-CC Dive Operations, guest lecturer Dr. Fernando Calderon Gutierrez will share about his work diving the subterranean estuaries of the Yucatan Peninsula and how these diving activities have contributed to knowledge of these unique environments.

This lecture will focus on the question - "How has water quality changed on the Texas coast?" Coastal watersheds in Texas have experienced significant human population growth over the past several decades. In addition, Texas estuaries have experienced a long-term increase in water temperature due to climate change and altered hydrology due to both climate change and growing human freshwater demands. This talk will highlight one such example, the Bringing Baffin Back initiative and accompanying research studies.

Learn more about carbon dioxide removal techniques in an effort to improve ocean alkalinity, especially for marine life such as coral reefs which are already threatened by warming and acidification.
