Welcome to the Texas Surf Conservancy, where environmental stewardship meets oyster mariculture marketing and innovative partnerships.
Building on a legacy rooted in marine preservation and community investment along the Gulf Coast of Texas, our organization is dedicated to restoring marine habits, advancing sustainable oyster mariculture practices, and educating the next generation of environmental advocates.
We envision a united Texas where marine ecosystems and oyster mariculture thrive together in coastal communities, supported by science, industry, and innovators working together.
Surftoberfest is a vibrant coastal celebration that brings together live music, local flavors, and environmental action in the heart of Corpus Christi. This annual event invites the community to enjoy a lively atmosphere filled with great performances, fresh Gulf seafood, craft beverages, and engaging educational experiences. Designed to inspire and connect, Surftoberfest raises awareness about marine conservation and oyster reef restoration while honoring Texas’ surf heritage and coastal culture. Families, friends, and ocean advocates alike gather to celebrate the coast and help protect its future.
