The Texas Coastal Exchange

The Texas Coastal Exchange is Open for Business - Rice Bioscience Research Collaborative

Jim Blackburn and development partners in the Texas Coastal Exchange met with a cross section of the community to discuss the TCX's goals and mechanics, and to sign up candidates for a Texas coastal exchange for ecological services—carbon, fish and wildlife, water, and endangered species— around the Galveston and Matagorda Bay areas. Notable speakers included: Jim Blackburn, Henk Mooiweer (Soil Value Exchange), Val Marmilion (America’s Wetland Foundation/Louisiana Coastal Exchange), and Dave Batker (Earth Economics).
