Making Waves

To Protect the Gulf

We’re thrilled to kick off Making Waves, a major new EPA-funded initiative to protect and restore the Texas Gulf Coast! This three-year project combines research, education, and community engagement to see how environmental messages can inspire real action against litter and plastic pollution in our waterways.

Right now, we’re calling on Texas high school students to join focus groups and share their ideas about litter and its impact on the Gulf. Their insights will help power a statewide art and slogan contest—and fuel a youth-driven campaign to Engage, Educate, and Protect our Gulf.

“As the next generation, we have to be the ones picking up the pieces and creating change. It starts small in our communities, in our local governments, by raising awareness and showing people that every action matters. We’re not going to solve climate change overnight, but we can make a difference right where we are.”
