Socio-Economics Group (SEG) at the Harte Research Institute (HRI), Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi.

The Socio-Economics Group seeks to make the connection between the natural environment and human well-being that will translate into better decision-making regarding our natural assets.
Special emphasis is placed on inventorying, mapping, and valuing ecosystem services in the coastal zone of the Gulf of Mexico and in assessing the economic impacts of climate change. Economics is important to address the issue of conservation and sustainable growth.
