Kayak Tour of the Galveston Bay Estuary, a guided kayak tour about the range of salinity levels and corresponding plant communities in the salt marshes of Galveston Bay at Galveston Island State Park. Plants signal ecosystem conditions; they exist on long timescales and big geographies, making them quiet messengers of changes in our environment. Led by Falon Mihalic and a State Park Ecologist, the kayak tour gives a view into the environs of our estuary and its unique role in making Houston a biodiversity hotspot.
