The Texas Conservation Alliance, in partnership with NWF, firmly opposes the proposed Lavaca River dam, which would divert up to 31 billion gallons of water annually, reducing freshwater inflows, destroying vital river habitat, displacing wildlife, and undermining community resilience along the Texas coast. NWF and many other groups are challenging this permit through the contested case hearing process. In July, community members, partners, and conservation leaders gathered in Austin to raise awareness and build support for safeguarding the Lavaca River and connected bay systems.
