Galveston Bay Conservation & Preservation Association

GBCPA was founded in January 1974, and is an organization of private citizens who are working to keep the Bay waterways and adjacent land areas suitable as a recreational and living environment.

GBCPA was formed as a result of a Corps of Engineers project to build a 25-foot high levee, 100-feet wide with a roadway on top, along the Bay waterfront from Morgan’s Point to Kemah. Bayfront property owners and others were alerted. Opposition was organized and the incredible proposal was defeated.

At that time, the need was recognized for some organized body to be on the watch for attempts by anyone threatening the Bay’s fragile environment, and GBCPA was born. In recent years GBCPA has been standing by to work for Galveston Bay and its estuaries as the need arises. There are no active projects or initiatives in the works, but please check back with us for updates.
