Flatsworthy for Students

^{A student-run organization that works with FlatsWorthy to promote respect for our fellow Texas bay users, respect for the resource, and respect for the law among a diverse community with the goal of improving the health and productivity of Texas bays now and for the future.}
^{We partnered with the local AgriLife Extension 4-H club to help them promote their sportfishing program, with an eye towards instilling a sense of respect for the resource in future generations. Out of this partnership arose a robust, student-centered focus, which includes sponsorship of the annual Kids Fishing Day (which reaches 4-H students in multiple counties), 2 college scholarships awarded annually, and student representatives on the FlatsWorthy Core Group.}
