The city of San Marcos is planning a conservation project that will protect the rivers natural ecosystem. The San Marcos river is home to many endangered species, the most common being Texas Wild Rice. The project aims to protect the species by adding new river access points that do not interfere with the wild rice. As well as new access points, a dog beach will be added, since most parks along the river do not allow pets. An estimated one-point-five-seven million dollars will be payed to Shirley and Sons Construction Company to complete the project, which is set to begin next year.
