The Aransas National Wildlife Refuge is seeking volunteers to help erect boundary signs in the effort to educate the public on the boundary between public and private land.

These signs help clarify the definition of mean high tide and ensure the public is not accessing private land to encourage respect of the Refuge's property and wildlife.

If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Jeff at 512-221-7952

The Aransas County Navigation District is hosting a beach cleanup on October 10, 2026.

We're thankful to our supporters for all they do to encourage conservation and keeping our beaches clean is a huge part of keeping our coastal wildlife healthy.

If you are able to help, please contact Vicky at [email protected]

The retail value of an oyster is how much it cost you to put it on your plate.

The worth of an oyster is how vital it is to the ecosystem.

The worth of the oyster alive, in its shell, doing its natural job, is far more important than the retail value.

When conservation fails, restoration is required. Efforts of restoration would be much simpler with more consideration of conservation.

Our bays are sick. And for years, individuals, agencies, and organizations have worked to understand the many issues contributing to their decline.

But studying each issue in isolation can only take us so far. Just as with the health of an animal, we must understand how individual problems interact, how they compound one another, and how they ultimately affect the health of the entire system.

Capt. Chuck Naiser describes this through the idea of a “Saltwater Porcupine.”We’ve been examining the quills one at a time—studying individual problems from the outside in—when we should also be looking at the health of the animal that created them.

The answers we’re looking for may not be found in any one quill, but in understanding how all the quills are connected.

FlatsWorthy has a long relationship with Cooper Advertising in Corpus Christi, Texas.

We struggled through design of the first panel and expanded to a pair of signs as we built this relationship over the years. They have been generous of their time and honest in all aspects of the contract. Along the way, we built a relationship with Ann Lippincott, their representative. Ann is a true friend of FlatsWorthy as is Cooper. We have become friends sharing the challenges of life with daughters and granddaughters and life in general. Ann is now going to retire and tend to her flock. I will always know her and be thankful for what she has done for us. In gratitude we are giving her a lifetime membership which means if I call out, she must come to our rescue.

Cooper is a family enterprise and I’m very confident that Robert and crew will continue to support our efforts to make this a better place. They are located in Corpus Christi at 115 Waco St and their number is 361-882-3088. Simply the best people to deal with.

Thanks to both from your friends at FlatsWorthy and happy retirement, Ann!
