About Us

The challenges that the Texas coast will face in the coming decades will need some creative solutions. Custom Coastal’s main mission is to aid teachers with the application of the Texas Education Knowledge Standards (TEKS) and Texas Education Agency’s (TEA) Pathways to increase students’ awareness and understanding of the unique and diverse realities that surround our coastal town. Our younger generation have unique opportunities that can be memorably witnessed on a trip aboard a vessel through the shipping channels that connect the Gulf of Mexico to the Galveston Bay.

The 1-2 hour boat ride will be combined with another supporting field trip to a local point of interest. The interactive pre- and post-trip activities will prepare the students for the trip and cement what they learned afterward. They will also provide more information on industry-based certifications, career pathways, fields of study, universities, nonprofit organizations and governmental agencies involved in the maritime sector.

Our programs have three main programs: Coastal Science Overview, Fisheries, and Biology. Teachers can elect a secondary focus from six other auxiliary programs: Engineering, Safety, Transportation, Administration, Entrepreneurship, and Resiliency.
