Interview with Nueces River Authority's John Byrum

In an effort to untangle a hairball of information, Brune goes back for another interview with Nueces River Authority  Executive Director John Byrum. While folks are satisfied that the discharge from a seawater desal plant will go offshore into deep water, they're not as happy about brackish aquifer desal plants putting the discharge back into creeks. The hairball starts when CCA's Shane Bonnet says that the runoff would be too "fresh" for Baffin Bay. Guides in  that area fear that the runoff would be too salty. Which is correct? Cpt. Jay Nichols points out areas of dead sea grass. Ex. Dir. Byrum tells us that nitrogen and other nutrients are harming the bay. However, there are efforts to rectify those problems and in other interviews researchers from the Harte Research Institute at TAMU Corpus Christi have documents progress and improvement.
