Set your sails for 75 miles of estuaries along the south-central coastline, 12 counties encompassing 11,500 square miles of land, 515 square miles of bays, estuaries and bayous, and 3 of the 7 major estuaries in Texas: Aransas Bay, Corpus Christi Bay, and Upper Laguna Madre.

You’re in Estuary Country - the Texas Coastal Bend!

What is an Estuary?

An estuary begins where freshwater from rivers and streams meets with saltwater from the ocean.

Many of the benefits we receive from living near the Gulf of Mexico are dependent on the health of the bays and estuaries. The vision of the Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program (CBBEP) is to maintain healthy bays and estuaries so that residents and visitors may enjoy their aesthetic, recreational, and commercial values.

Let the journey begin – enjoy our healthy and productive bays and estuaries.

Thanks for caring about the Texas Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries!

The Program's 12-county area includes: Aransas, Bee, Brooks,
Duvall, Jim Wells, Kenedy, Kleberg, Live Oak, McMullen,
Nueces, Refugio & San Patricio.
