Preserve the Migratory Birding Habitat at South Padre Island Convention Center

The Issue

Dear South Padre Island City Council and City Leaders,

It has come to our attention that the South Padre Island Convention Center is working with an architectural firm to expand and redesign the Convention Center.

We respectfully request that none of the habitat outlined in red on the attached graphic of the Convention Center be disturbed or destroyed. This is old-growth habitat and critically vital for migratory birds to rest and refuel during migration. Birders from around the world travel to South Padre to visit this site and consider it to be one of the top 10 birding sights in the world. Please refer to this video report:

We respectfully request that this outlined habitat not be modified, disturbed or destroyed during the SPI Convention Center expansion and renovations. Thank you.
