Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program
Friends of the Bay Stewardship Program
Category: Submerged, Intertidal, Wetland, and
Upland
Cost: $16,000
Description: The Bays Plan calls for the establishment
of a "Friend of the Bay" stewardship program that will
seek voluntary participation by area businesses to adopt themes
of resource conservation and protection, utilizing logos and other
packages and graphics that can be used in tourism and other literature
for bay-related businesses. Program staff will assist this effort
and work with regional tourism councils and boards to inventory,
develop, and maintain (as part of the 'information clearinghouse'
or more appropriate location) a database and website of bay-related
recreational events. The goal of this latter effort is to coordinate
scheduling, provide public access to calendar information for
anyone wishing to schedule an event, and provide appropriate resource
protection educational materials as-needed to individual events.
