The Center for Texas Beaches and Shores (CTBS) at Texas A&M University at Galveston was established in 1993 by the Texas Legislature to address beach erosion and wetlands loss throughout the state. The CTBS is dedicated to the conservation and protection of the Texas shoreline, bays and waterways through innovative research in cooperation with government and private sector agencies.

 

 

The Center is focused on developing a comprehensive, holistic approach to Texas coastal research and restoration solutions incorporating natural, economic and political processes.
