Save Corpus Christi Bay: The battle between residents and industries in Corpus Christi, Texas, is heating up as plans for desalination plants threaten the environment and community. Encarnacion Serna, a retired chemical engineer, fights to protect his legacy on Corpus Christi Bay from industrial expansion.
As oil, gas, and petrochemical industries encroach on the Gulf Coast, the construction of desalination plants poses a significant threat to the bay’s ecosystem. Local residents, like Serna and his daughter Blanca Parkinson, fear the loss of their homes as large-scale projects divert water for industrial use.
With concerns over environmental racism and health risks, the community in the Hillcrest neighborhood is up in arms, resisting the industrial takeover of their homes. Despite legal battles and institutional resistance, residents like Monna Lytle and Reverend Claudia Rush vow to fight to the end to protect their families and way of life.
