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.

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.
