April 25th - Sea Center Texas Tour, Lake Jackson, TX

On Saturday April 25th we have an educational trip planned to see and tour the modern, state-of-the-art saltwater fish hatchery near Lake Jackson. Sea Center Texas is operated by Texas Parks & Wildlife, and is one of three hatcheries on the Texas coast www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/visitorcenters/seacenter/. In addition to the fish hatchery, the Visitor Center on site houses interpretive displays, a “touch tank” and aquariums depicting native Texas habitats including a salt marsh, jetty, reef and open Gulf exhibits. The hatchery produces juvenile red drum and spotted speckled trout to stock in Texas bays, and has the capability to produce up to 15 million juvenile fish each year. Friends and family are invited and encouraged to join us for the hatchery tour at 2:30pm. Admission is free, but space is limited and you need to sign up in advance.
