Anyone get one of these today?
Dear Mr. Harris,
Thank you for your email regarding the Coastal Coordination Council's shore protection goals and policies. Commissioner Patterson asked me to respond on his behalf.
The CCC is in the process of revising its goals and policies on shore protection. The General Land Office is also updating its beach and dune rules in this area as well.
The purpose for these changes is to reflect the new information that we have gathered since the goals and policies were originally adopted. Much has been learned about the interaction of geotextile tubes with the infrastructure and environment around them, and these updates are intended to incorporate this learning.
None of these changes will remove shore protection from under the jurisdiction of the CCC. In fact, that could never happen, since the CCC is required to review all designated activities within the coastal zone for consistency with the Texas Coastal Management Plan.
When the CCC and the GLO do propose the changes under consideration, they will be made available to the public and we will solicit input from all those interested in this issue.
If you have any specific questions about this process, please contact me or Mr. Eddie Fisher, director of Coastal Stewardship at (512) 463-9215 or
[email protected].

Please, please, leave it alone. I will fight this. This is my E Mail to the CCC. There will be hundreds to follow.
I Am Writing You In Regards Of The Transfer Of Policy Regarding Those Sand Socks To The General Land Office And The Land Commissioner. Its Obvious This Move Isn't In The Publics Best Interests. Only In The Interests Of A Few. The Coastal Coordination Council Should Retain Control.
Thank you.
Gary Harris.
