Cedar Bayou Progress

For those following the Cedar Bayou / Vinson Slough project, you'll be glad to know that the Environmental Assessment study is wrapping up, and the application for funding has been submitted.

The next step, once the EA is wrapped up, is submit the application to the CORP requesting the permit to begin work on dredging the channel. I feel confident that the CORP will approve the application, and we can finally restore this pass and the thousands of acres of wetlands that we've lost.

We'll continue gathering signatures at the online petition until we submit them to the CORP, if you haven't already signed, click here to do so now.

If you want to be informed of the upcoming public comment period, head over to my Texas fishing site and register, all members will be notified when the time comes to comment.
