Galveston Bay Council Meeting

In accordance with The Galveston Bay Plan (The Plan), a coordinating body, The Galveston Bay Council (GBC) was created and appointed by the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (now the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality) in November 1995. The Galveston Bay Council continues the work of the Management Conference convened for The Plan’s creation.

This Council is charged to:

• Provide an ongoing forum for technical and stakeholder review and involvement during implementation of The Plan.
• Contribute to assessments of The Plan’s effectiveness and participate in periodic redirection of The Plan’s initiatives.
• Advise the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality during consistency reviews of eligible federal projects.
• Maintain agency commitments to implement The Plan; assure efficient cross-jurisdictional coordination and, if necessary, facilitate resolution of disputes.
• Set annual priorities for the implementation of action plans.
• Represent various stakeholder groups.
