CBBEP Water Sediment and Quality Report
| The Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program (CBBEP) initiated the Regional Coastal Assessment Program (RCAP) in 2000 to meet the stated goals of the Implementation Strategy for the Coastal Bend Bays Plan (CBBEP 1998). The Bays Plan called for a program in which comprehensive water and sediment quality monitoring and assessment is a stated primary goal necessary for understanding local estuarine conditions and providing the tools required for protecting, preserving, and enhancing the unique estuarine and marine resources of the Texas Coastal Bend.

Colonial Waterbird Management Plan
These reports of the Colonial Waterbird and Rookery Island Management Plans include field observations and management recommendations based on historical surveys. The plans encompass rookery islands along the central and lower Texas coast. The purpose is to characterize coastal rookeries, identify habitats and impacts, and to summarize historical population trends. Site-specific recommendations provide resource managers with strategies to improve waterbird breeding success.
