In August, crews spent nine days clearing Boca Chica Beach of trash left behind by visitors and debris washed in from outside the area. They removed 12.25 tons from the beach. The heaviest day was at the river mouth, where the Rio Grande meets the Gulf, with 3 tons hauled off in a single day. Much of what collected there was small debris blown across the river by the wind, piling up along the bank and the south end of the beach. Every ton removed means a cleaner, healthier beach for our community and wildlife.

Boca Chica Beach is one of Starbase’s greatest assets, and we take our responsibility to protect it seriously. Last month, 12.1 tons of debris left by visitors were removed from the shoreline, including four car tires and a 5,000-gallon water tank. We are proud that the beach is cleaner than it was before we arrived, and regular grading at the entrance helps keep it that way by giving visitors safe access while keeping vehicles off the dunes.

Road and area closures begin at 10:15 AM today for a Booster 21 engine test. The test is expected between noon and 1 PM. You may hear a low rumbling and feel some vibration for a few minutes at most. That is normal and expected. The test is controlled and safe for the public. Please stay clear of closed areas until testing is complete. Thank you.

7+ miles of shoreline cleared. Over 12 days, crews hauled off 17 tons of plastic bottles, old tires, and other debris. That's about the weight of three adult elephants. Thank you to our partners at Gulf Coast Contractors, our neighbors in Cameron County, and @SeaTurtleInc for keeping our coast clean.

The City of Starbase does not support the name change from ‘Boca Chica Beach.’ We think that the current beach name is appropriate.

What a way to celebrate America! Thank you to the thousands of attendees from across the Rio Grande Valley who joined us for Starbase’s Second Annual 4th of July Celebration.

Earlier this month, the City of Starbase was excited to support residents, local fishermen, @SpaceX volunteers, and @SeaTurtleInc in rescuing 266-lb loggerhead Arlen from Boca Chica Beach jetties. She’s since laid 60+ eggs, been tagged, and released into the Gulf.
