For more than 45 years, agents and specialists with Texas Sea Grant and other Sea Grant programs across the United States have worked in coastal fishing communities on a variety of topics including seafood safety and sustainability. Educating seafood consumers on the health benefits, care and selection, and ease of cooking has long been a goal in Texas.

Eating seafood at least once a week can benefit you by decreasing the chance of developing many chronic diseases, increasing cognitive function, and of course, by being delicious. It is also an excellent way to support the Texas economy, with commercial fisheries, processing and seafood retail accounting for approximately 23,000 Texas jobs.
