Conservation & Environmental Stewardship Awards

The Coastal Bend Bays Foundation is hosting the 22nd Conservation and Environmental Stewardship Awards Banquet on November 13, 2024! This event recognizes and honors outstanding Coastal Bend citizens, educators, businesses, and organizations that have made significant contributions to protecting and preserving of our coastal resources.
All proceeds from the Silent Auction benefit the Coastal Bend Bays Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has proudly served the Coastal Bend community since 1991. We are dedicated to the conservation of freshwater and coastal natural resources through communication, awareness, research, and education. It is through our four community-rooted programs - FREE Earth Day-Bay Day festival, FREE Coastal Issues Forums, seasonal coastal clean-ups with Adopt-A-Beach, and the Conservation & Environmental Stewardship Awards Banquet -- that we are able to reach the broadest audience to instill our message of environmental awareness, appreciation and stewardship.

Since 1991 the Coastal Bend Bays Foundation was founded as a public interest organization dedicated to the conservation of freshwater and coastal natural resources for current and future generations through consensus, facilitation, communication, advocacy, research and education. our membership is comprised of representatives of environmental groups, fishing organizations, port industries, government agencies, university scientists and concerned citizens.
