Gulf Coast Protection District

Coastal protection starts with collaboration. This week, GCPD presented to the @LeagueCityTX City Council to provide an update on the Coastal Texas Project and discuss how this historic investment in storm surge protection will help strengthen resilience across the Upper Texas Coast. #CoastalTexasProject #LeagueCityTX #CoastalResilience #GCPD #UpperTexasCoast

We appreciated the opportunity to join the Chambers County Commissioners Court this morning to share highlights from the Gulf Coast Protection District's 2025 Annual Report. GCPD continues its efforts to strengthen coastal resilience across our five-county region through planning, coordination, and progress on initiatives designed to reduce storm surge risk and support long-term economic and environmental sustainability along the upper Texas coast. #GCPD #ChambersCounty #AnnualReport #CoastalResilience #UpperTexasCoast #RegionalPartnership #CoastalTexasProject

Great conversations and valuable connections at @PasadenaTX_CoC Chamber Day at City Hall last week! Our team had the opportunity to meet with Chamber members, connect with city leaders, and hear directly about the Mayor’s vision and priorities for Pasadena.

📍We Were There @GHPartnership's State of the Port gathered regional leaders to discuss the continued growth and future of @Port_Houston, one of our region’s most important economic engines. As our region continues to grow, investments in resilient infrastructure and navigation systems remain critical to protecting communities, supporting commerce, and strengthening the Gulf Coast economy. Thank you @RepBrianBabin for your continued support of this nationally important region. #GulfCoastProtectionDistrict #PortHouston #StateOfThePort #HoustonRegion #Infrastructure #CoastalResilience #EconomicDevelopment

Post: 📅 This Month in Coastal Protection History On September 10, 2021, the @USACEHQ Coastal Texas Project Final Study was released, outlining a comprehensive plan to protect the Texas Gulf Coast from hurricanes and storm surge. The plan included the Galveston Bay Barrier System, known locally as the "Ike Dike," along with other nature-based and engineered solutions. Five years later, that vision is becoming reality. #CoastalTexasProject #GalvestonBay #IkeDike #GCPD #TexasCoast

🚨 Coastal protection trivia! The Coastal Texas Project isn't just the Ike Dike. It's a two-part strategy that combines bay barriers with shoreline and island protection to help safeguard our communities, economy, and environment. ✅gcpdtexas.com/our-projects/ #DidYouKnow #GalvestonBay #GCPD #CoastalTexasProject

✈️From the Gulf Coast to the Dutch coast, resilience knows no borders. Last week, GCPD attended the annual @ISTORMnetwork meet-up and @tudelft, culminating with the annual test closure of the Maeslantkering, the remarkable storm surge barrier that helps protect the Rotterdam region from flooding. The annual closure serves as a real-world readiness test ahead of the North Sea storm season. The insights gained from global leaders in coastal protection help inform the work we do every day to support a more resilient future for Texas communities. #CoastalProtection #Resilience #GCPD #DutchWaterManagement #ISTORM #TUdelft #CoastalTexas
