The campus of Texas A&M University at Galveston does not include any fishing facilities for the public. Due to significant safety and security concerns TAMUG only allows current students, current TAMUG employees and approved guests to fish on property owned or controlled by TAMUG. Approved guests must be accompanied by an affiliated individual.
 

For those approved to fish on TAMUG property, fishing is only permitted on the Mitchell Campus on Pelican Island.
