Tres Palacios Creek: Coordinating Implementation
Background
Tres Palacios Creek, in Matagorda County, flows into Matagorda Bay. Since 2006, its tidal segment has been listed as impaired due to high levels of fecal bacteria and low levels of dissolved oxygen. The Texas Institute for Applied Environmental Research and the Texas Water Resources Institute (TWRI) developed a watershed protection plan, in cooperation with stakeholders, to address these impairments.

TWRI will work with key stakeholders and partner agencies to facilitate implementation of the WPP with significant public participation, to include several currently available statewide training programs, local distribution of watershed-specific educational literature, and online resources.
