Max Midstream: Stop the Dredging! Rally

Join waterkeeper Diane Wilson, Gulf Coast fishers, and local environmental activists this Thursday for Matagorda Marine Life VS Max Midstream Rally to tell CEO Todd Edwards to #StopTheDredging! If Max Midstream dredges 9ft deep through mercury superfund site Matagorda Bay to build a crude oil export terminal, nearly 800 tons of buried toxic mercury pollution from the Alcoa Corporation will be unearthed to devastate fish, oysters, shrimp, and other marine life.

Matagorda bay provides sea food for Texans and wildlife including endangered migratory sea turtles and birds. Diane and the Southern Fisherman’s Federation are working together to create a sustainable, environmentally safe, and equitable fishing cooperative to help fisherman, shrimpers, and oysterman restore the health of the bay and their businesses. This project will strip fisherman of economic security, poison the community, and trash the climate solely for profit.

Join us this Thursday to hold Max Midstream accountable!
