Habitat program keeps rolling
Texas Parks & Wildlife Department (TPWD) recently completed Phase I of a 25-acre marsh restoration project within the Goose Island State Park in Rockport, Texas. CCA Texas Aransas Bay Chapter President Karen Wiatrek, and CCA Texas Assistant Director John Blaha recently surveyed the completion of Phase I work with TPWD officials and Charles Belaire of Belaire Environmental.
After surveying the site, Wiatrek handed Belaire a $25,000 check from the CCA Texas Habitat Today for Fish Tomorrow program for the planting of 10,000 marsh plants that finished out the 12 acres as part of Phase I. Phase II construction is planned to begin this summer and will result in the restoration of 25 acres of lost wetlands and marsh along the Aransas Bay shoreline.
