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.

The CBBEP project area encompasses the 12 counties of the Coastal Bend Council of Governments extending from the land-cut in the Laguna Madre, through the Corpus Christi Bay system, and north to the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. The mission of the CBBEP is the implementation of the Coastal Bend Bays Plan, which is to protect and restore the health and productivity of the bays and estuaries while supporting continued economic growth and public use of the bays.
