Many Houston industries recognize Galveston Bay as their gateway to world markets. At the same time, it is an incredibly productive estuary where fresh water from bayous and rivers mixes with salt water from the Gulf of Mexico to create a home and nursery for a host of fish, shellfish, birds and other species. Galveston Bay enhances the quality of life for all area residents. It provides recreational opportunities, including world class birding, fishing, sailing and boating. Simply put, Galveston Bay is one of the treasures that makes Houston a wonderful place for businesses and their employees.
The Galveston Bay Foundation is a nonprofit organization that recognizes the many values of the Bay. Its programs in advocacy, conservation, education, and research strive to ensure a healthy balance for the Bay, so that its beauty and productivity will be here for future generations, whether their use is recreational, commercial, residential or industrial.
