2017 Galveston Bay Report Card Released
The Galveston Bay Foundation (GBF) and the Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC) released the latest results of the “2017 Galveston Bay Report Card”—a grading system used to convey the health of the Bay. The study assigned an overall grade of “C”, denoting significant threats to the region—an area marred by pollution, habitat loss and unfavorable coastal changes. The citizen-driven, scientific analysis was created to inform the community and inspire action to protect and preserve the Bay.
“Since its inauguration in 2015, the annual Report Card has identified the most pressing needs of the region and guided efforts to empower the public, as they preserve the area and foster a healthy and productive environment for generations to come,” said Galveston Bay Foundation President Bob Stokes. “Our initiatives are fueled by our yearly assessment of the Bay, and have led to community-based actions to restore lost or degraded wetlands, oyster reefs, and bird rookery habitats.” Click HERE for the full and detailed report.
