Attendees will see habitat cages, learn how volunteers are collecting valuable ecological data, and explore how the project is making waves across Matagorda, Calhoun, and Aransas Counties. Hands-on, place-based, and scalable, this effort exemplifies how local action can drive meaningful environmental impact.
