2 Itinerary Friday, November 6 The Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History will provide the perfect introduction to our coastal adventure. We will have a private tour of their history, ecology and paleontology galleries to learn the background of the area from the prehistoric past that included dinosaurs and ice-age mammals, to the native Karankawa, Spanish settlers, Texas revolutionaries and Confederate forces. Our tour begins at 4 p.m. Participants can meet at the museum in own cars, or ride in HMNS van from hotel departing at 3:45 p.m. This evening a group diner will be hosted at Water Street Seafood Company for the best seafood in town, and a few blocks walk from our hotel. The party room is reserved for our group at 7 p.m. Saturday, November 7 Laguna Madre is the most famous hypersaline lagoon in the world, and Padre Island is the longest undeveloped barrier island in the world. What a treat to visit two world-class natural environments in one day along the South Texas Coast! Our guide for today is Dr. Wes Tunnell, HMNS curator of marine biology and a leading researcher on the Texas coast and Gulf of Mexico. Vans will depart the hotel at 8:30 a.m. The day will start with a visit to the renowned Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies (HRI) at Texas A&M University- Corpus Christi, which focuses on solution-oriented problems of the Texas and other Gulf coasts in the US, Mexico and Cuba using an integration of multidisciplinary studies in natural sciences, policy and law, as well as socio-economics. After our HRI tour, we will drive to Padre Island National Seashore (PINS) where we will first visit the shoreline of Laguna Madre. Our day here will include discussions of Laguna Madre s highly productive and unique biota and ecology, as well as ecological zonation on the beach and dunes. We will tour the Malaquite Beach Visitor s Center, where we learn about the Kemp s ridley sea turtle recovery project. Lunch will be provided for our group at the visitor center. After lunch, we will continue down the beach where you will have the opportunity to collect seashells and drift wood. Our next stop is the Texas State Aquarium. We will enjoy a tour that includes the highlights of the aquarium displays and then we will go on behind-the-scenes to see how staff cares for the animals and plants. We will see pumps, filters and miles of pipes working together to keep the animals and plants healthy. Our private tour Page 2 of 5
3 includes an exclusive peek at the nursery, where the newcomers are kept before they can be seen by the public. Our group will also have the honor of assisting with a feeding. After returning to the hotel, you are on your own for dinner. There are numerous restaurants in walking distance. Sunday, November 8 Today we will enjoy a boat excursion on Aransas Bay with a stop at Talley Island with Jay Tarkington, program director of the Center for Coastal Studies at Texas A&M Corpus Christi. Our group will spend the morning immersed in the wetlands. While exploring the island, we will learn about the important components of wetland ecology and how it has shaped human history, and continues to influence our future. Our group will have access to the Estes Education Station and participate in wetland sampling. We will see the varieties of seagrass, oyster, mangrove and birds, and learn about bay formation, geologic change and water quality. Prior to this excursion, we will check out of our hotel this morning. Driving your own cars, the group will meet at a boat dock in Rockport at 9 a.m. Our estimated return is noon. After the boat excursion, our group will part ways. There are a few lunch spots nearby before hitting the road back to Houston. Omni Corpus Christi Hotel * Lodging is not included in the price of the trip. Participants are responsible for making and paying for their own hotel reservations at the Omni Corpus Christi Hotel.
