POCCA Desal Plant

The Port of Corpus Christi Authority plans to build a baywater desalination plant on La Quinta Channel in order to attract future industrial customers to the Coastal Bend region.  IOBCWA opposes the Port's desalination facility on account of the devastation it would wreak on local fish and bird populations as a result of intake and discharge operations within the Channel.
