Stop the Lavaca River Dam

Tax deductible
Help stop the proposed dam on the beautiful and wild Lavaca River upstream of Lavaca Bay, Texas. It is imperative for the delicate ecosystem including the abundant redfish, trout, white shrimp, blue crabs, oysters, and migratory birds to have fresh and brackish water reach the wetlands, intertidal nursery, and Lavaca Bay. Why does the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and Lavaca-Navidad River Authority want to dam the last naturally flowing river in Texas when there has not one environmental study on how this will affect the estuaries and bays? The proposed dam will divert up to 31 billion gallons of fresh water a year for industrial use. Visit our website at lavacariverdam.com for additional information.

Proceeds from gofundme will go to Matagorda Bay Foundation and be used for signage, media, consultants, legal, and other expenses related to stoping the Lavaca River Dam.
