About This Partnership
TPWF is proud to serve as an incubator for the newly established Gulf Trust, which was launched to provide Texas-based, science-backed solutions that support a vibrant and resilient Texas Coast and Gulf.
Through an innovative partnership with Harte Research Institute at Texas A&M – Corpus Christi and relevant stakeholders, Gulf Trust is focusing on five focal areas: Building coastal resiliency; facilitating strategic energy development; improving coastal habitats, promoting applied research; and scaling science-based solutions for coastal challenges.
The organization is led by a dynamic team of well-versed and well-respected lifelong Texas conservationists. Along with Jay Kleberg, who previously served as director of conservation initiatives for TPWF, the Gulf Trust board of directors includes TPWF Executive Director Anne Brown, Coastal Conservation Association National President Pat Murray, former TPWD Executive Director Carter Smith, and ardent philanthropists Rod Sanders, Herb Stumberg, and Will Harte.
