Hack the Bay!

Shape the future of environmental management with the Tampa Bay Estuary Program at our first ever hackathon! We’re calling all data scientists, environmental stewards, and tech-savvy organizations. This is your chance to make a real impact. You’ll work in teams to tackle a critical estuarine health indicator from our priority list and lay the foundation for tools to enhance environmental management efforts.

Request for Proposals

The Tampa Bay Estuary Program is seeking a contractor to provide behavioral research and social marketing services required for designing, testing, and implementing environmental behavior change campaigns within the Tampa Bay watershed. The anticipated project duration is 3 years, with up to $150,000 available over the duration of the project. Questions received by October 9th and responses related to the RFP have been posted to a FAQ here. Proposals must be submitted by November 15th, 2024.

Pipe Up

Don’t let sewage make a house call. A lateral sewer line connects a home’s plumbing to the public sewer system, and it’s the owner’s responsibility to maintain it. An old and damaged lateral line could lead to sewage back-ups into your yard and home, turning your biggest asset into a mess of costly repairs. Visit tbep.org/pipeup to learn more about rebates available to help cover the cost of inspecting, repairing, replacing or rehabilitating private lateral sewer lines.

Economic Value of Tampa Bay

The natural resources of Tampa Bay support essential industries such as tourism, mineral extraction, marine transportation, and other commercial and recreational activities. This study values the annual economic impacts, property value premiums, and ecosystem services provided by Tampa Bay and its watershed. 

Keep Tampa Bay on the Road to Recovery

Help support bay restoration efforts by purchasing a Tampa Bay Estuary specialty license plate, also known as the Tarpon Tag. Proceeds from sales of the plate directly fund our community-based Bay Mini-Grant program each and every year.
