The Texas General Land Office (GLO) released the first Texas Coastal Resiliency Master Plan in 2017 as an ambitious coastal planning effort to restore, enhance, and protect more than 367 miles of coast and 3,300 miles of bays and estuaries. The next iteration of the Plan is under development for 2019, with the ultimate goal of a better and safer future for all Texans impacted by coastal vulnerabilities and natural disasters. Working with AECOM, the GLO will incorporate lessons learned and seek opportunities to embolden state legislators to become global leaders in the field of coastal recovery and protection.
