Nueces Bay Public Access Improvements

Project Description

The Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program (CBBEP) will initiate public access improvements to Nueces Bay adjacent to the Nueces Bay Marsh Restoration Project site.  The CBBEP owns a 33 acre parcel of land along the southbound side of Highway 181 bordering the northeast portion of Nueces Bay that will be dedicated to public access to Nueces Bay. CBBEP will create a parking and staging area for fisherman and paddle craft users and install a bollard and cable perimeter to keep vehicles in the approved parking areas and out of sensitive wetland habitat. An ADA-accessible elevated platform and informational kiosk will also overlook the adjacent CBBEP Marsh Restoration Site.
