Golden Alga Research Coordinated by TPWD

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologists, other agency officials, and researchers remain dedicated to achieving a better understanding of and potential management options for golden alga in Texas. One of our current research funding grants is through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service State Wildlife Grant program, whose goal is to conserve wildlife and their habitats. Another source of funding is through Texas Legislature authorizations for research projects that address priority needs for the understanding and management of golden alga in Texas. The money to fulfill these authorizations is raised through user-based fees, specifically the licenses that fishermen pay to fish in Texas. Potential projects were submitted and selected using the Golden Alga Research Grant Proposal Protocol (0 B).
