The Bucket Brigade, in conjunction with the Galveston Park Board of Trustees, provides free interpretive tours to beach-goers on Galveston Island. The Bucket Brigade’s goal is to increase public understanding of the positive role of sargassum and turbid water in our marine and coastal ecosystems. Bucket Brigade also highlights the impact we can all have on coastal ecosystems through marine debris and pollution and has the potential to directly impact thousands of visitors including those from far away and right here in the Galveston Bay watershed.
