A new aquatic science curriculum for middle school and high school students in Texas is now available for teachers. Called Texas Aquatic Science, the curriculum features lessons on the importance of aquatic ecosystems and conservation. The curriculum was developed as part of a cooperative project sponsored by Texas Parks and Wildlife, the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies and the Meadows Center for Water and the Environment at Texas State University.
