“The texas state aquarium's mission is to connect people with nature and inspire conservation of the gulf of mexico. To accomplish this goal, the aquarium has developed more than 25 permanent and special exhibits to interpret the animals and sensitive ecosystems of the gulf, educating more than 550,000 visitors annually in the wonders of the marine world. The texas state aquarium promotes and actively engages in environmental conservation through a number of programs, including a wildlife rehabilitation program that ministers to the needs of hundreds of sick and injured shorebirds, raptors, sea turtles and marine mammals each year.”

“Beyond our education programs, the aquarium has worked diligently to organize and carry out beach clean-up events in partnership with the texas general land office. In addition to coordinating these efforts, tsa staff conduct educational programs that highlight the effects garbage have on regional wildlife. Finally, our wildlife rehabilitation program "second chance wildlife rehabilitation program" ministers to the needs of hundreds of injured shore and water birds, marine turtles, and marine mammals each year. In the last two years, we have successfully treated and released 92 animals. And, since 2007, we have successfully treated 68 green sea turtles and a number of atlantic bottle nose dolphins. It is through these and many other programs that the texas state aquarium helps preserve our region's rich environmental heritage and empowers millions of visitors to take action to help preserve and protect our natural environment. And finally, as a private, not-for-profit institution, the aquarium has a tremendous economic impact (over 43 million each year) without the need for city, county or state funding subsidies.”
