Recognizing the need for locally-driven conservation serving the immediate community, the Saltwater-fisheries Enhancement Association (SEA) was established in late 2000 to support conservation efforts and education focused on local fisheries and habitats in the Texas Coastal Bend region. Over the years, SEA has grown through the support of dedicated individuals, businesses, and industry partners, becoming a strong voice for recreational anglers. The organization has played an important role in various regulatory issues, including the regulation of floating cabins, the elimination of guide limit retention, and adjustments to daily and slot limits for Spotted Sea Trout. To ensure members stay informed and involved, SEA closely monitors regulatory proposals affecting saltwater fisheries, provides timely updates, and gathers member feedback to develop positions that reflect their interests. SEA's largest or "signature" project was their major role to acquire, prepare, and construct an offshore artificial reef site-- with its crowned jewel, the Kinta S, a decommissioned 155' freighter.  Since its inception, SEA has also contributed significant funds over the years to support our Texas Game Wardens, responsible for protecting our saltwater resources and to support research and re-population efforts of game fish through the UT Marine Science Institute, the Harte Research Institute, and the local fish hatchery (approx. $600,000 collectively). SEA also keeps its eye to the future generation of sportsmen through youth development programs and education. These initiatives foster a deeper appreciation and understanding of our saltwater fishery among tomorrow’s anglers and leaders.
