Primary exempt purpose

Marine Science Education

  • Matagorda Manana program provided 10 full days of Marine Science education to students in Matagorda County including Marine Science Cruises into Tres Palacios Bay and Shoreside Citizen Science lessons. 545 students and 56 teachers served. For 123 participants, it was their first time on a boat.

    Expenses $35,600

  • Traveling Bay Touch Tank program for Victoria Texas ISD provided visits to all public schools in the district, including 14 elementary schools, 4 middles schools and 2 high schools, allowing students to interact with live marine specimens collected from their watershed (San Antonio Bay). All specimens were returned to the bay. 30 full day visits served 2965 students and 199 teachers.

    Expenses $30,000

  • Estuary October program provided 21 Marine Science Cruises aboard the Research Vessel Archimedes into San Antonio Bay out of Seadrift, Texas as well as related shoreside lessons for students in the watershed for San Antonio Bay. 524 students and 54 teachers served. For 148 participants, it was their first time on a boat.

    Expenses $12,600

  • Other program services: In addition to the programs listed in lines 28, 29 and 30, Texas Floating Classroom, Inc. conducted 52 Marine Science Cruises aboard the Research Vessel Archimedes into Corpus Christi Bay, Aransas Bay, San Antonio Bay, Lavaca Bay and Tres Palacios Bay, serving a total of 733 students and 249 teachers. For 255 participants, it was their first time on a boat. Our Traveling Bay program also visited an additional 30 schools, parks, libraries and museums with our Touch Tanks, allowing 3,916 students and 456 adults to interact with live fish, crabs, shrimp and other specimens collected from (and returned to) local bays in their watersheds. The Traveling Bay educational team traveled a total of 17,588 miles throughout the year so that students who were not able to participate in Marine Science Cruises would be able to view, touch, and learn about the marine organisms that inhabit the bays into which the rainwater that falls on their communities flows, thereby connecting these future stewards of our environment to the organisms that are affected by their actions.
