01What it does

What Texas Coastal Exchange does

Mission

Texas Coastal Exchange promotes the protection and restoration of coastal habitats.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.

Program

  1. Texas Coastal Exchange is a conservation organization dedicated to supporting the long-term resilience of the Texas coast by working with coastal landowners to conserve and protect coastal marshes, prairies and bottomland hardwood forests. A key aspect of our work has been to refocus our efforts on coastal living shoreline construction. However, this effort has encountered slow market acceptance and the decision has been made by the board of directors to pause the operations of the TCX for the remainder of 2025 and into 2026 pending market recovery.

Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
