Episode Synopsis

The Edwards Aquifer is the primary source of drinking water for many people in central Texas. The deep caverns of the aquifer are also home to two species of blind catfish.  On this episode of the Bracewell Environmental Law Monitor, host Daniel Pope is joined by guests Amanda Glen, senior natural resources technical director at SWCA, a global environmental consulting firm, and Ann Navaro, partner in Bracewell’s environment, lands and resources practice.  Tune in to hear Daniel, Amanda and Ann discuss two species of blind catfish that live deep in the Edwards Aquifer, underneath the city of San Antonio. The toothless blind catfish and the widemouth blind catfish have been proposed to be listed under the Endangered Species Act, and Amanda and Ann discuss the considerations and potential ramifications of these listings.
