2023 Inner Harbor Boat Tour

By Events

Community Leaders from across the Coastal Bend sailed away with CBIA!

The Coastal Bend Industry Association hosted local partners, elected officials, and business leaders for a multi hour boat tour of the Port Corpus Christi Inner Harbor on May 24, 2023.  During the tour, guests were greeted by numerous CBIA member representatives, received Corpus Christi Bay Fun Facts and Historical Commentary from our Executive Director Bob Paulison, and learned about member facilities along the inner harbor from CBIA Member management representatives.

CBIA hosts our educational boat tours to offer firsthand looks at the plants and processes of our members for newly elected, appointed, hired and introduced community leaders to further communication and partnerships.

CBIA at 24th Annual Earth Day – Bay Day

By Events

There’s no better way to combine Coastal Bend Industry Association Member employees’ favorite things (Family, Fun, our local Environment, and Volunteering) than to do so at the annual Earth Day – Bay Day celebration each year!

On April 22, 2023, CBIA members teamed up again at the Coastal Bend Bays Foundation 24th annual Earth Day – Bay Day (EDBD) to share our love for the Coastal Bend with neighbors.  Our local volunteers helped community members of all ages plant beautiful brightly colored flowers in environmentally friendly CBIA gift planters and handed out fresh recyclable totes to help collect all the goodies offered to attendees at the festival – and for reuse again and again later while combing beaches or local shops for treasures.

EDBD, held annually at Corpus Christi’s Heritage Park, is a free admission family-oriented celebration intended “to bring education, conservation, participation, habitat protection, and career choices in the community together in a fun atmosphere to help educate and promote environmental awareness” to our community.  This goal aligns perfectly with CBIA’s mission and the mission of our industry partners!  We look forward to spending time with the 800+ festival attendees again in 2024.
