This is a pretty bad organization with lots of terminations without cause that have ruined many former employees careers. There is an army of ex-employees still scrambling to find employment after working very hard for this organization and being terminated without notice or cause. The President has wiped out complete departments with very little thought of the lives and families he has ruined in the process. Avoid this organization all together! They typically reward hard work and results with a pink slip.

The Galveston Bay Foundation has been very effective over the years in bringing various user groups together to work for the benefit of the bay. That is not always easy, but it has resulted in success in opposing permits that would adversely affect the bay, restoring marshes, trying to ensure that there is adequate freshwater into the estuary and educating the public about the science and importance of the resource.
