the aransas project's photostream

From the Hill Country to the coast, our way of life depends on freshwater flows from the Guadalupe River Basin. The ecosystems of the Aransas area are the indicator of how effectively we are managing the basin. The record-breaking death toll of the whooping cranes in 2008/2009 coupled with the poor fishing season tell us that not enough freshwater is reaching the bays. Coastal communities are the first to feel the strain of mismanagement.

The Aransas Project is an alliance of organizations, communities, families and citizens focused on water management of the Guadalupe River Basin and bays that represents all interests throughout the basin. We support responsible water management that is reasonable, sustainable and environmentally sound—all the way to the bay.
