Science, technology, space, high tech jobs...sounds great doesn't it? It is not without its negative impacts on the ecology, the wildlife, and the public. Our aim is to minimize those negative impacts. 

​

Our concerns include but are not limited to:​

• Texas Open Beach Act and State Hwy 4 closures

• Missing and lack of information in Draft Programmatic Environmental Assessment

• Tiered Reviews (past, present, and future with a Programmatic Environmental Assessment)

• Lack of a launch failure analysis (to include impacts to proposed LNG and crude upgrade refinery operations at the Port of Brownsville)

• Accountability and illegal operations and conduct

• Wetland destruction

• Impacts to the ecology and habitat (e.g. Lower Rio Grande National Wildlife Refuge, South Bay Ecological Preserve, Boca Chica State Park, etc.)

• Impacts to wildlife some of which are threatened or endangered

• Adherence to the National Environmental Protection Act (NEPA)

• Land Use compatibility

• Impacts to infrastructure in Port Isabel, Long Island Village, South Padre Island
