The Institute for Journalism & Natural Resources (IJNR), in conjunction with the Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ), presented the 2022 SEJ Post-conference Tour on the South Texas Coast from April 3-5. The group spent two and a half days in and around Corpus Christi, Texas, exploring a variety of topics including:

  • Gulf ecology in a changing climate.

  • Gulf fisheries, the food supply and sustainability.

  • The local – and global – impact of the petrochemical industry’s shift toward plastic production.

  • The economic and environmental justice implications of a new wave of Gulf Coast industrial expansion.

  • The Texas coast’s critical role in bird (and sea turtle) migration
