Water Quality Protection and Storage Characteristics of Freshwater Wetlands in the Galveston Bay Watershed

Summary

The Galveston Bay Estuary Program (GBEP) will select an independent researcher to evaluate the capacity and role of freshwater wetlands in providing floodwater storage and processing pollutants in the Galveston Bay system. The evaluation will demonstrate the economic and ecological value of protecting the freshwater wetland resources, and serve as a model for other areas of the Texas coast.
