Great conversations and valuable connections at @PasadenaTX_CoC Chamber Day at City Hall last week! Our team had the opportunity to meet with Chamber members, connect with city leaders, and hear directly about the Mayor’s vision and priorities for Pasadena.

📍We Were There @GHPartnership's State of the Port gathered regional leaders to discuss the continued growth and future of @Port_Houston, one of our region’s most important economic engines. As our region continues to grow, investments in resilient infrastructure and navigation systems remain critical to protecting communities, supporting commerce, and strengthening the Gulf Coast economy. Thank you @RepBrianBabin for your continued support of this nationally important region. #GulfCoastProtectionDistrict #PortHouston #StateOfThePort #HoustonRegion #Infrastructure #CoastalResilience #EconomicDevelopment

Post: 📅 This Month in Coastal Protection History On September 10, 2021, the @USACEHQ Coastal Texas Project Final Study was released, outlining a comprehensive plan to protect the Texas Gulf Coast from hurricanes and storm surge. The plan included the Galveston Bay Barrier System, known locally as the "Ike Dike," along with other nature-based and engineered solutions. Five years later, that vision is becoming reality. #CoastalTexasProject #GalvestonBay #IkeDike #GCPD #TexasCoast

🚨 Coastal protection trivia! The Coastal Texas Project isn't just the Ike Dike. It's a two-part strategy that combines bay barriers with shoreline and island protection to help safeguard our communities, economy, and environment. ✅gcpdtexas.com/our-projects/ #DidYouKnow #GalvestonBay #GCPD #CoastalTexasProject

✈️From the Gulf Coast to the Dutch coast, resilience knows no borders. Last week, GCPD attended the annual @ISTORMnetwork meet-up and @tudelft, culminating with the annual test closure of the Maeslantkering, the remarkable storm surge barrier that helps protect the Rotterdam region from flooding. The annual closure serves as a real-world readiness test ahead of the North Sea storm season. The insights gained from global leaders in coastal protection help inform the work we do every day to support a more resilient future for Texas communities. #CoastalProtection #Resilience #GCPD #DutchWaterManagement #ISTORM #TUdelft #CoastalTexas

Former Morgan's Point Mayor and GCPD Board Vice President Michel Bechtel took the stage at @EconAlliance #GCIF this week to champion the #CoastalTexasProject, highlighting the critical need to protect Texas communities, businesses, and infrastructure from the growing threat of coastal storm surge.

📍We Were There Congratulations to our Dutch colleagues on another successful annual test closure of the Maeslantkering, one of the world's most remarkable storm surge barriers. This annual exercise demonstrates the importance of rigorous testing, preparedness, and operational excellence in protecting coastal communities from flood risk. #CoastalResilience #FloodProtection #ISTORM #Maeslantkering #WaterManagement #GCPD #CoastalTexas

Former Texas Senator and current GCPD Board Member Larry Taylor welcomed attendees of the Neighborhood Economics Conference aboard a tour of Galveston Bay. 🛥️ During the cruise, participants learned about the bay's rich history, the region's storm resilience efforts, and the transformative Coastal Texas Project that will help protect communities, industry, and the economy for generations to come. Thank you to everyone who joined us to see firsthand why protecting the Texas coast matters. #GalvestonBay #CoastalTexasProject #GCPD #NeighborhoodEconomics #StormProtection
