<div>The Texas General Land Office (GLO) has allocated $238,000 to fund a feasibility study aimed at diverting stormwater and treated wastewater away from Little Bay, a once-thriving estuary now facing ecological challenges due to pollution.​The initiative, announced on April 8, will be conducted by the Aransas County Stormwater Technical Committee, comprising of experts and engineers from Aransas County, Rockport, Fulton, and Aransas Pass. The study seeks to explore cost-effective methods to reroute water currently flowing through Tule Creek into Little Bay, with the goal of restoring the bay's environmental health.​"We support this effort 100%," said Rockport City Manager Vanessa Schrauner, emphasizing the community's commitment to preserving Little Bay. The study is expected to commence immediately and conclude by April 2026.​Little Bay, once abundant with sea grasses and marine life, has suffered from declining water quality, impacting local fisheries and recreation. The study will assess the feasibility of redirecting water northward to Aransas Bay, thereby reducing the influx of pollutants into Little Bay.​This project aligns with the GLO's Clean Coast Texas initiative, which aims to enhance coastal resilience and environmental stewardship across the state.</div>
