The 95-acre community provides direct channel access to the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) and Redfish Bay. Phase I of La Buena Vida sold out in roughly nine months, and Phase II is already primed for development. All utilities are underground, streets are wide, curbed and guttered, completely bulk headed, and there is a private marina. This waterfront community is only seconds away from Estes Flats where dramatic bay fishing for redfish, trout and flounder, to name a few, can be found.

Intracoastal waterway frontage lots have wide open easterly views of Estes Flats. Lakefront lots allow for private docks and deep boating channel access to the ICW, and peaceful views of the protected wetland areas (almost 20 acres of wetlands) and the bountiful wildlife that populates the reserve. Nature enthusiasts will find more bird watching opportunities in nearby Rockport than almost anywhere else in North America, including nesting whooping cranes in the large Aransas National Wildlife Refuge.

Texas AgriLife Research and the Texas AgriLife Extension Service provide administrative support for TWRI and the Institute is housed on the campus of Texas AMUniversity. TWRI thrives on collaborations and partnerships currently managing more than 70 projects, involving some 150 faculty members from across the state. The Institute maintains joint projects with 14 Texas universities and two out−of−state universities; more than 40 federal, state and local governmental organizations; more than 20 consulting engineering firms, commodity groups and environmental organizations; and numerous others. In fiscal year 2007, TWRI obtained more than $5.5 million in funding and managed more than $20 million in active projects. TWRI works closely with agencies and stakeholders to provide research−derived, science−based information to help answer diverse water questions and also to produce communications to convey critical information and to gain visibility for its cooperative programs. Looking to the future, TWRI awards scholarships to graduate students at Texas AMUniversity through funding provided by the W.G. Mills Endowment and awards grants to graduate students from Texas universities with funds provided by the U.S. Geological Survey.

  • Stormwater Management Program 2013-2018 Appendix A
    Appendix A 2012 Texas Integrated Report - Texas 303(d) List (Category 5) 2012 Texas Integrated Report - Texas 303(d) List (Category 5) As required under Sections 303(d) and 304(a) of the federal Clean Water Act, this list identifies the water bodies in or bordering Texas for which effluent limitations are not stringent enough to implement water quality standards, and for which the associated pollutants are suitable for measurement by maximum daily load. In addition, the TCEQ also develops a schedule identifying Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) that will be initiated in the next two years for priority impaired waters. Issuance of permits to discharge into 303(d)-listed water bodies is described in the TCEQ regulatory guidance document Procedures to Implement the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (January 2003, RG-194). Impairments are limited to the geographic area described by the Assessment Unit and identified with a six or seven-digit AU_ID. A TMDL for each impaired parameter will be developed to allocate pollutant loads from contributing sources that affect the parameter of concern in each Assessment Unit. The TMDL will be identified and counted using a six or seven-digit AU_ID. Water Quality permits that are issued before a TMDL is approved will not increase pollutant loading that would contribute to the impairment identified for the Assessment Unit. Explanation of Column Headings SegID and Name: The unique identifier (SegID), segment name, and location of the water body. The SegID may be one of two types of numbers. The first type is a classified segment number (4 digits, e.g., 0218), as defined in Appendix A of the Texas Surface Water Quality Standards (TSWQS).

  • Section IV – Guideline for the Texas Priority Species List
    Section IV – Guideline for the Texas Priority Species List Associated Tables The Texas Priority Species List……………..733 Introduction For many years the management and conservation of wildlife species has focused on the individual animal or population of interest. Many times, directing research and conservation plans toward individual species also benefits incidental species; sometimes entire ecosystems. Unfortunately, there are times when highly focused research and conservation of particular species can also harm peripheral species and their habitats. Management that is focused on entire habitats or communities would decrease the possibility of harming those incidental species or their habitats. A holistic management approach would potentially allow species within a community to take care of themselves (Savory 1988); however, the study of particular species of concern is still necessary due to the smaller scale at which individuals are studied. Until we understand all of the parts that make up the whole can we then focus more on the habitat management approach to conservation. Species Conservation In terms of species diversity, Texas is considered the second most diverse state in the Union. Texas has the highest number of bird and reptile taxon and is second in number of plants and mammals in the United States (NatureServe 2002). There have been over 600 species of bird that have been identified within the borders of Texas and 184 known species of mammal, including marine species that inhabit Texas’ coastal waters (Schmidly 2004). It is estimated that approximately 29,000 species of insect in Texas take up residence in every conceivable habitat, including rocky outcroppings, pitcher plant bogs, and on individual species of plants (Riley in publication).

  • Commercial Fishing Full Final Report Document Printed: 11/1/2018 Document Date: January 21, 2005 2
    1 ECONOMIC ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH COMMERCIAL FISHING ALONG THE TEXAS GULF COAST Joni S. Charles, PhD Contracted through the River Systems Institute Texas State University – San Marcos For the National Wildlife Federation February 2005 Commercial Fishing Full Final Report Document Printed: 11/1/2018 Document Date: January 21, 2005 2 Introduction This report focuses on estimating the economic activity specifically associated with commercial fishing in Sabine Lake/Sabine-Neches Estuary, Galveston Bay/Trinity-San Jacinto Estuary, Matagorda Bay/Lavaca-Colorado Estuary, San Antonio Bay/Guadalupe Estuary, Aransas Bay/Mission-Aransas Estuary, Corpus Christi Bay/Nueces Estuary, Baffin Bay/Upper Laguna Madre Estuary, and South Bay/Lower Laguna Madre Estuary. Each bay/estuary area will define a separate geographic region of study comprised of one or more counties. Commercial fishing, therefore, refers to bay (inshore) fishing only. The results show the ex-vessel value of finfish, shellfish and shrimp landings in each of these regions, and the impact this spending had on the economy in terms of earnings, employment and sales output. Estimates of the direct impacts associated with ex-vessel values were produced using IMPLAN, an input-output of the Texas economy developed by the Minnesota IMPLAN Group. The input data was obtained from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) (Culbertson 2004). Commercial fishing impacts are provided in terms of direct expenditure, sales output, income, and employment. These estimates are reported by category of expenditure. A description of IMPLAN is included in Appendix C. Indirect and Induced (Secondary) impacts are generated from the direct impacts calculated by IMPLAN. Indirect impacts represent purchases made by industries from their suppliers.
