This $373,000 Project Grant award, funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Beach Monitoring and Notification Program Implementation Grants (CFDA 66.472), supports the Texas General Land Office's (GLO) beach monitoring program for the 2024-2026 swimming seasons. The program's key activities include monitoring water quality for pathogens at recreational beaches in Texas, notifying the public of water quality results and risks, issuing advisories or beach closures as needed, and reporting data to the EPA. The GLO will collaborate with sub-recipients such as the City of Corpus Christi, Lamar University, Eastex Environmental Laboratory, and the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley to implement the monitoring program and deliver the required reporting. The objective is to reduce swimmer illness by providing the public with timely and accurate information to make informed decisions about beach visitation.
