Redhead Pond - Adjacent Tract(s)Acquisition

Project Description

The City of Corpus Christi (the City) will use Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act (GOMESA) funds via the Coastal Management Program’s 25th grant cycle to acquire 24.43 acres of wetland and upland property adjacent to and contiguous with the existing Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s (TPWD) Redhead Pond Wildlife Management Area (WMA). Redhead Pond is an extremely important freshwater pond used by thousands of wintering redhead ducks. Unfortunately, over the years, this 9-acre pond has become brackish/saline due to a past stormwater re-route project that deprived the pond of freshwater for several decades.
