Industry

If your company is located in the Houston-Galveston area, it probably lies within the Galveston Bay Watershed.  How you operate your business potentially affects the bay and its inhabitants.  Therefore, you play a vital role in the protection and restoration of local bayous, rivers and ultimately, the bay.

What can industry do to help Galveston Bay?

• Reduce non-point pollution sources such as runoff from non-process areas, storage areas and other industrial land uses.
• Implement storm water programs.
• Prevent degradation of bay waters by known industrial ground water plumes.
• Promote beneficial uses of dredged material to restore and create wetlands.
• Become an Estuary Program partner.

What the Estuary Program can do for my organization?
The Galveston Bay Estuary Program has made available resources you can use to help Galveston Bay.  Please contact Ericka McCauley, Public Information Officer, for more information.
