Water Wednesday – Port Lavaca Texas
TPWD Report Lavaca Bay Texas Alcoa Aluminum History
FROM TEXAS PARKS & WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT NEWS RELEASE
“Achieving conservation goals requires effort by all of us, from individuals to government agencies.
At times, combined forces are called for, as in the mercury clean-up of Lavaca Bay, seen in this video. The ongoing effort to keep the Gulf stocked with game fish relies on strong partnerships, too. It also took a group effort to bring about Gulf restoration to compensate for effects of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill; see the project tracker for updates.
Individual anglers like you also play an important part. Your license fees support conservation, as does your compliance with regulations. Your vigilance is also necessary. If you see a fish or wildlife kill or suspect a pollution event, immediately report the location by calling (512) 389-4848 or (281) 842-8100, 24 hours a day.”
