Happy National Dog Day to all our four-legged Bay buddies! ๐Ÿพ ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ’™

Whether theyโ€™re chasing waves, enjoying a sunny walk, or just supervising from the sidelines, we think every dog deserves a little time by the Bay. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Take a peek at what a school visit with Pear looks like as Emily gives us a little taste of what itโ€™s like when Pear visits schools and teaches students about her life as a Galveston Bay ambassador animal. ๐Ÿš๐ŸŒŠ

From the classroom to the Bay, Pear has a lot to teach! ๐Ÿ’™

๐ŸŒŠ A big THANK YOU to our Summer Youth Volunteers! ๐Ÿ’š

These awesome young people spent their Thursdays this summer helping us care for the Bay and our Gessner Center! From cleaning and organizing to building shelves, watering plants, caring for our turtle, prepping for programs, and getting our new event space ready, they tackled it all. ๐Ÿ™Œ

And when the work was done? They explored the property, discovered neighboring plants and animals, and made the most of their time outside. ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿข๐Ÿฆ‹

Weโ€™re so grateful for all their hard work, energy, and enthusiasm this summer. We can't wait to see you all again in Summer 2027! ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ“ What a day on the courts!

The 2nd Annual Future Leaders Pickleball Tournament was a huge success! With 28 teams registered, the courts were full of friendly competition, community spirit, and plenty of fun.

Congratulations to Shell Federal Credit Union for taking home 1st place! ๐Ÿ†

This yearโ€™s tournament also made a BIG impact. Thanks to the Johnson Ohana Foundation, every team registration was matched dollar-for-dollar, helping us double our funds raised from last year! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’™

GBF is proud to be a Jack Johnson All At Once partner, a social action network working to create positive change in local communities around the world. All At Once supports plastic-free initiatives, healthy watersheds, sustainable food systems, and more.

A huge thank you to our sponsors, players, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this event possible.

A lot can change. Thatโ€™s why we monitor! ๐ŸŒŠ

For Water Quality Month, weโ€™re looking back at some of the people and moments behind Galveston Bay Foundationโ€™s water quality monitoring efforts.

For decades, volunteers have collected samples, tested water, recorded data, and helped us better understand the health of Galveston Bay. Over time, these snapshots become a bigger picture that helps guide efforts to protect the Bay.

The faces, tools, and technology may change, but our commitment to understanding and protecting the Bay remains the same.
