It's no secret that there is a lot of industrial activity going on in the Coastal Bend with so much more coming. Did you know the closest air monitor the TCEQ has regulating air quality for us is in Port Aransas? This air monitor is utilized for Ingleside on the Bay, Ingleside and Aransas Pass. That's right, it's all the way across the Bay from us. Very scary! So PLEASE when you Hear, See, or Smell Something report it!
Preserving our Paradise
Ingleside on the Bay offers a high quality of life, with its own marina, beach club, restaurants, and laid-back, secluded bayfront lifestyle. While the community lies off the beaten path, the increasing volume and size of ship traffic and build-out of surrounding industries threatens to degrade this quality of life. IOBCWA members include educators, engineers, business owners, elected officials, and others who aim to increase the positive and decrease the negative impacts of the changes underway and yet to come.
