| Desc | GBFs conservation programs focus on estuarine habitat preservation, protection, and restoration. Continuing our work as a nationally accredited land trust, GBF acquired conservation easements on two properties1) a 675-acre tract that is part of Harris County Flood Control Districts mitigation bank near Greens Bayou in northeast Houston that serves to offset wetland impacts associated with future flood control efforts in Harris County and 2) a 1,700-acre tract consisting of high quality coastal wetland and prairie habitat known as Gordy Marsh near Smith Point in Chambers County. In our role as a facilitator for conservation work across the Gulf states, GBF obligated funds from the Knobloch Family Foundation to members of the Partnership for Gulf Coast Land Conservation to help pay for due diligence costs associated with 20 land acquisition projects targeting Deepwater Horizon settlement funds for the proposed conservation of more than 28,000 acres across all five Gulf States. We also worked extensively to restore degraded habitats around Galveston Bay. In 2015, we removed 19 abandoned and derelict vessels from locations all around the Bay; created, restored, and enhanced approximately 50 acres of freshwater wetlands and adjacent prairie habitat at our Rich Sanctuary property as part of the Wetland Reserve Program; created a 30-acre freshwater wetland for waterfowl and enhanced over 150 acres of existing man-made wetlands on the Austin Bayou Woods property to provide habitat for waterfowl, wading birds, and other wetland dependent species; worked with three private landowners and a county park to create living shorelines on their waterfronts; and put to use our first funds stemming from the BP oil spill via NFWFs Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund on the Oyster Lake and Moses Lake/Dollar Bay projects. Our oyster programs ranged from oyster shell recycling to oyster gardening, to nearshore reef restoration. We welcomed a new restaurantCaptain Bennys Seafoodinto the oyster shell recycling program and continued collecting oyster shell from Tommys Oyster Bar, Topwater Grill, the Kemah Boardwalk, and Crazy Alans Swamp Shack, reclaiming an estimated 156 tons of shell during 2015, an 18% increase in shells collected from 2014. We gardened oysters with the assistance of over 30 volunteers who deployed 0.71 cubic yards of recycled oyster shell, 10% of which contained spat, on existing reefs in Kemah and San Leon. We also created over 230 feet of oyster bar breakwaters along Sweetwater Lake, utilizing approximately 44 tons of oyster shell from the recycling program and assistance from 360 volunteers during 12 volunteer workdays. We also hosted numerous community-based habitat enhancement events including TPWDs annual Abandoned Crab Trap Removal event at the Fort Anahuac Park site, in which we removed 147 crab traps from Trinity Bay with the assistance of 50 volunteers and 6 boats; a River, Lakes, Bays,N Bayous Trash Bash event at Bay Area Park, in which 803 volunteers collected an estimated 3.4 tons of trash, recyclables, and compostable materials as well as 53 tires from the Armand Bayou watershed; and Marsh Mania marsh grass planning events in the spring and fall, in which 255 volunteers planted 1.3 acres of estuarine intertidal marsh. We also coordinated a trash cleanup along a half-mile section of shoreline at Morgans Point with the Port of Houston Authority, Audubon Texas, and approximately 40 community volunteers in response to public concern for the littered beach, and planted 133 trees at locations including Exploration Green in Harris County, Sweetwater Nature Preserve in Galveston County, and Turtle Bayou Nature Preserve in Chambers County. | Desc |

| Desc | GBFs education programs allowed us to reach thousands of youth and adults in 2015, with events and campaigns aimed at increasing the publics awareness of the importance of Galveston Bay as well as more structured programs that provide science-based environmental education focused on Galveston Bay. We hosted the ninth annual Bike Around the Bay sponsored by Shell, which allowed us to bring our message to more than 1,150 registered cyclists and over 300 volunteers and expose them to the beauty of the Bay. We also hosted the Bay Day Festival at the Kemah Boardwalk, with 30 educational exhibits, support from 50 volunteers, and an estimated attendance of over 5,000 visitors. We concluded the 2014-15 Get Hip to Habitat year by serving 1,949 students at 22 schools and kicked off the 2015-16 school year with participation by 19 schools. We delivered Bay Ambassador presentations to 2,746 students and professional development training workshops and resources to 24 educators. We launched the Cease the Grease campaign with over 15 participating partners, including four campaign videos, a new website featuring a cooking oil recycling map and proper disposal methods for fats, oils, and grease, and educational handouts and games, which altogether made over 389,000 impressions. | Desc |

| Desc | GBFs advocacy program attempts to balance the multiple uses of Galveston Bay so that the long-term interests of the Bay itself are not compromised. In 2015, in partnership with the Houston Advanced Research Center, GBF released the inaugural Galveston Bay Report Card, with the Bay earning an overall grade of C, and began spreading the message on how the Galveston Bay community can work to improve this grade. We created and debuted the Galveston Bay Action Network pollution reporting tool that allows the public to report incidences of pollution around the Bay and automatically forwards those reports to one of nine authorities in charge of response/enforcement. In its first year, we received 39 pollution reports and reached 47,296 people on social media. We offered nine Rain Barrel Workshops with a total audience of 358 people who received 423 rain barrels and kits, potentially reducing 468,750 gallons of stormwater runoff from reaching Galveston Bay and improving water conservation in seven different cities within our watershed. Our volunteer Wetland Permit Review Committeeactive for a consecutive 26 yearsreviewed 42 applications for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permits and provided letters of concern or comments on 17 of them. GBF also completed the first draft of the application to designate Galveston Bay as a No Discharge Zone. | Desc |

| Part II, Line 5: Summarized Policy | Monitoring and inspections of conservation easements are conducted at least once per year via ground inspection by the Conservation Lands Manager or his appropriately trained designee. Enforcement of easements is conducted primarily through landowner education and relationship building, but also carries legal insurance if litigation becomes necessary. All easements are monitored, inspected, and enforced. |
| Part II, Line 9: Organization Reporting of conservation easements. | Conservation easements represent rights to restrict the use, access, and development of certain properties. The Foundation holds conservation easements on 10 tracts of land totaling approximately 4,349 acres at December 31, 2015 and on 8 tracts of land totaling approximately 1,935 acres at December 31, 2014. Additionally, the Foundation holds title to 11 tracts of land, totaling approximately 3,335 acres at December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Foundation monitors these easements in the normal course of its operations and associated costs are expensed as incurred.The Foundation receives gifts of conservation easements and grants toward the purchase of conservation easements, which represent numerous restrictions over the use and development of land not owned by the Foundation. The donated value of conservation easements are recorded, based on the estimated appraised value, as revenue when received and estimated conservation easement expense is recorded for an equal amount. Easements are not reported as assets because the Foundation does not believe the easements represent a future economic benefit. |

The Conservation Lands Manager reviews and approves the expenses, the CFO confirms that the records are complete, and then the Grants Billing Specialist issues payment. All grants paid upfront require the receiving entity to provide weekly updates on the progress of the project and expenditures. A final report is due upon completion of the project which details the use of the funds and the project accomplishments. | ExplanationTxt |

| Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description | OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: GBFs research program focuses on the monitoring of some of Galveston Bays most valuable coastal resources. Several programs utilize trained citizen scientists to augment professional monitoring data and aid in watershed planning. In 2015, GBFs Water Monitoring Team was represented (at year-end) by 32 volunteers who sampled from 37 sites, including 16 who sampled for Enterococcus bacteria from 21 sites. GBF also contributed to the development of an easy-to-use Citizen Science Data Portal for the entire Gulf of Mexico in partnership with the Gulf of Mexico Coastal Ocean Observing System (GCOOS). We began the planning stages for the new Galveston Bay Dolphin Research and Conservation Program in partnership with the Environmental Institute of Houston. GBF continued to be actively engaged in discussion and planning on improving coastal resiliency and to advocate for the allocation of research dollars to the region to ensure the health of Galveston Bay and its users. |
