Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program (CBBEP) is a local non-profit organization established in 1999. The CBBEP project area encompasses 12 counties of the Coastal Bend Council of Governments, from the land-cut in the Laguna Madre, through the Corpus Christi Bay system, and north to the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge.

Their mission is to implement the Coastal Bend Bays Plan (to protect and restore the health and productivity of the bays and estuaries), while supporting continued economic growth and public use of the bays.

The CBBEP is working with industry, environmental groups, bay users, local governments and resource managers to improve the health of the bay system. Public participation by individuals and organizations is encouraged.

A variety of local governments, private industry, state (TCEQ), and federal (USEPA) agencies provide funding for the program. The Program also seeks private grants and additional governmental funding.
