    "excerpt": "joined KRIS 6 News in March of 2026. She is a neighborhood news reporter for Corpus Christi's Southside, Padre Island and Flour Bluff. CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - A message in a bottle. Coral. Sea beans. Even old dolls. These are just some of the unusual items Jace Tunnell has found while beachcombing along the Gulf Coast. But he says every beach find is more than a curiosity - it's an opportunity to teach people about the Gulf. \"Every day that I go out to the beach, I find something new. I'm learning myself almost on a daily basis, and it's just a lot of fun. It's almost like a treasure hunt,\" Tunnell said. Tunnell is the director of community engagement at the Harte Research Institute at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. Now, the Harte Research Institute is getting a boost to keep that treasure hunt going. A $25,000 investment from Phillips 66 will help expand the beachcombing program through more school visits, educational outreach and its first-ever community beachcombing event this October on North Padre Island. \"Last year we actually went into about 75 different schools... and really making it interactive where students aren't just listening to something, they're actually being able to handle corals or big shells, messages in a bottle, things like that that we find washing in,\" Tunnell said. The partnership will also help support the videos, beach reports and social media...",
