AboutFounded in 2019, Ingleside on the Bay Coastal Watch is dedicated to preserving the health, safety, and quality of life in the city of Ingleside on the Bay, Texas.
|
BackgroundIOBCWA was formed in 2019 by a group of citizens in Ingleside on the Bay who are concerned about the impacts of sea level rise, subsidence, and ship traffic on our community. Through word-of-mouth alone, at our first member meeting in October, 14 people joined. As a grassroots organization, IOBCWA is dedicated to conducting research, educating our citizens, working with our industrial neighbors, communicating our aims with potential partners, and taking decisive action to chart our own future.
|
GoalOur goal is to preserve our community's high quality of life by developing strategic partnerships, fostering innovative approaches, and pursuing funding designed to position IOB as a resilient coastal community able to mitigate the negative effects of rising sea levels, larger and more frequent ship traffic, and rapid industrialization. We realize it will require many constructive voices and diverse opinions and expertise to achieve this aim.
