Nueces Estuary Advisory Council
Membership and activities of the Nueces Estuary Advisory Council, a group formed to monitor the implementation of an agreed order issued by the Texas Water Commission.
About the Advisory Council
The NEAC meets as needed, but at least once every calendar year. The group is charged with assessing the effectiveness of the water management strategies and operating guidelines for reservoir systems that are contained in the Agreed Order, and with recommending changes to the Agreed Order as needed to the Executive Director of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
Members of the NEAC represent state resource management agencies; local governments; water right permit holders; academic institutions; business coalitions; environmental and conservation groups; wholesale water suppliers; commercial and recreational fishing interests; Lake Corpus Christi/Choke Canyon Reservoir interests; and private citizens.
