Small coastal research site on Matagorda Bay focusing on microplastic monitoring — shoot estuarine shoreline, sampling gear, piers and tidal flats, plus coastal birds and textured debris. Best at golden hour or low tide for long reflections and exposed mudflats; spring and fall migrations boost bird activity. Site is roadside off TX‑35 with limited parking; research areas may require permission, but adjacent public shoreline and marsh edges are accessible. Expect breezy, salty conditions and mud
