CURRENTS – April/May 2021
Hello Aransas Bay chapter members, I hope everyone has returned to a sense of normalcy after the historic cold temperatures experienced across the state.
The Aransas Bay Chapter Banquet is scheduled for March 20, 2021 at the Fulton Convention Center. We are looking forward to a great evening of food, friends, as well as plenty of awesome trips and auction items. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., we are excited to announce it is a sold-out event!
I want to say a huge thank you to all the Aransas Bay chapter members who volunteered their time and effort to help clean up our local bays and beaches. On February 26, chapter members participated in the TPWD Annual Abandoned Crab Trap Cleanup. This year we joined forces with the San Antonio Bay Partnership and coordinated our search efforts together. We removed 77 traps from the assigned area, which ran from Spaulding Bight to Allyn’s Bight. The following morning, February 27, chapter members loaded up and headed down the beach to Mile Marker 31 to fill their truck beds with bagged trash as part of the Billy Sandifer Big Shell Beach cleanup.
