Caring for Our Coast

In 2014, the CITGO Caring for our Coast initiative started as a yearlong series of projects focused on coastal conservation and restoration in remembrance Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Today, it has grown into a program to protect vulnerable coastal and inland habitats through educational and volunteer efforts.
