Maintaining and Restoring Texas Bays and Estuaries, Today and for Generations to Come

Coastal Preservation and Restoration (CPR) is dedicated to protecting Texas’s public reefs and restoring those that are damaged or degraded. Oyster reefs are vital guardians of the coastal ecosystems: they shield saltwater marshes from erosion, provide nurseries that sustain diverse marine and bird populations, and support more than 300 species of marine life and 200 species of birds. Just as importantly, oyster reefs are powerful natural water filters, improving water clarity and allowing sea grasses to thrive.
