In Houston, and the Texas Coast, we are fortunate to have a fresh supply of Galveston Bay, other bays, or Gulf of Mexico seafood that we can eat at home or when we go out. In fact, this is one of the benefits for our community in living near the Texas Coast. And if you like seafood, then you should love seagrasses.

| The COVID-19 crisis has not passed and continues to disproportionately harm Black, Indigenous, and Latinx people and other communities of color. The pandemic has revealed how the communities hardest hit are often the same communities that suffer from high levels of pollution and poor access to healthcare. The fight for environmental justice cannot be separated from the fight for racial justice. |
