Bay Education Center

Summary

The TAS/ADA compliant observation deck will be approximately 600 square feet and directly attached to the facility and face Aransas Bay. The observation deck will allow for viewing of the essential habitat and serve as a focal point to educate visitors. The target audience to use this facility will be the general public, tourists, and local decision makers. The Bay Education Center and TAS/ADA compliant observation deck will be the perfect compliment to the Copano Bay Research and Education Center and help fulfill the goals of the Mission-Aransas NERR.
