Gulf Star is a public-private partnership administered by the Gulf of Mexico Alliance, a 501c3 public charity with flexibility to collaborate with others in the Gulf region. The goal of the Gulf Star program is to facilitate partnerships between the Gulf of Mexico Alliance and outside funders who wish to use their investments strategically to achieve measurable results around priority issues that are common to all five states of the Gulf of Mexico region:
- Sustainable seafood
- Loss of critical habitats
- Coastal resilience
- Water quality and quantity
- Living marine resources
- Data and monitoring
Water Resources Team requests proposals for Texas water quality economics project

The economic data will support ongoing work to improve water quality and restore this iconic bay system. The deadline for proposals is July 9, 2021.
