Educational Programs
The Reserve’s Education Program strives to enhance public understanding of the value and function of estuaries and to encourage protection of the coastal environment.
The Reserve offers a wide variety of environmental learning experiences for students, families, adults, and youth. Our unique programs immerse learners in activities and experiences that inspire curiosity, make science connections, promote stewardship, and build an appreciation for our marine and coastal environments.

We provide a range of STEM and environmental learning experiences for classroom and homeschool students and teachers throughout the year. Our TEK-aligned programs immerse learners in guided inquiry and place-based activities that inspire curiosity, connect to research, promote stewardship, and refine STEM process skills.

Visit and explore coastal environments, wildlife and research in two dynamic locations—the Patton Center for Marine Science Education Center in Port Aransas, Texas and the Bay Education Center in Rockport, Texas. Both facilities offer a variety of self-guided and guided learning opportunities for families, adults, youth, and organized groups.
