As a result of a shared vision for a healthy and resilient Gulf of Mexico coast, the Gulf states of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, supported by thirteen federal agencies, formalized the Gulf of Mexico Alliance. The first action taken by our new partnership was the development of the Governors' Action Plan for Healthy and Resilient Coasts, which was released at the State of the Gulf of Mexico Summit on March 28, 2006 (sponsored by the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies and Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi).

This far-reaching Governors' Action Plan, supported by the President in the U.S. Ocean Action Plan, challenges the Gulf of Mexico Alliance to make tangible progress over the next 36 months on five priority issues:

  • Water Quality,
  • Habitat Conservation andl Restoration,
  • Environmental Education,
  • Characterization of Gulf Habitats,
  • and Reductions in Nutrient Inputs.

Implementation of the 11 actions and 73 Action Blueprint Steps outlined in the Governors' Action Plan is currently underway. In the wake of the devastating 2005 hurricane season, all of these actions are intended to supplement ongoing recovery efforts across the Gulf region.
