Working With Nature & Our Communities
![Galveston Bay]()
Galveston Bay
2020 has been a year like no other. Just in the last six months the Gulf Coast experienced a record hurricane season; and while we've been fortunate in the Galveston Bay Watershed with minimal direct impacts, we know that we are on borrowed time until the next storm and hurricane season approaches.
This year we've been working closely with communities across the Lower Galveston Bay Watershed - from our bayou headwaters down to our bays and the Gulf of Mexico - to think strategically and creatively about what we want protection to look like. We've hosted meetings with decision-makers, like representatives from the City of Houston and Harris County, to outline a community vision of resiliency,
encouraging the integration of nature-based solutions into their plans for the future.
Houston’s progress toward equity in flood reduction reflects the trajectory of environmental justice and climate action across the nation. In our quest toward disaster preparedness, conservation, and clean energy, we are working to ensure that communities of color and low-income populations are not left behind is crucial to progressing toward a more sustainable and more equitable future.
