Dr. Anna Armitage is an associate professor and head of the Coastal and Wetlands Ecology Lab at Texas A&M University at Galveston.

Forty-five scientists from France, the United States and western Africa held a two day workshop at Texas A&M Galveston to discuss Sargassum (seaweed) and the problems it has created in the past with no warnings of its landings and inundations on the beaches of the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico.

The Texas Sea Grant College Program at Texas A&M University has awarded $5,700 in research grants to six undergraduate students at Texas A&M University at Galveston.

We all remember the summer of 2014, when the beaches of the Texas coast filled with Sargassum (seaweed) and when moved back from the beach it was piled higher that the Galveston seawall.

The arctic cold front that dropped temperatures so quickly along the Texas Coast caused sea turtles to become cold-stunned, killing many.

Dr. Pete van Hengstum, Assistant Professor in the Department of Marine Sciences, has been named the 2017-2018 Texas A&M University at Galveston Montague-Center for Teaching Excellence Scholar.

Dr. William "Bill" Merrell of Texas A&M University at Galveston has been honored with the distinguished titles of President Emeritus and as one of the 2017-2018 Regents Professors by The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents.

Shark populations can fluctuate widely, and largely depend upon a number of factors including fishing pressure. A Texas A&M University at Galveston researcher hopes his project can help provide additional information on how fishing activities impact sharks in the Gulf of Mexico.

By the time Harvey hit the Houston and Galveston area, it had ceased to be the monstrous category 5 hurricane that seemed to erase the entire Gulf of Mexico from radar maps.

Texas A&M University at Galveston's Regents Professor Dr. Peter Santschi, along with his research team, has recently established a ground-breaking method with which to trace radioactive particles in the environment.
