Port Aransas Nature Preserve Restoration

Project Description

Alternative Analysis phase (bathymetric & topographic data collection, sediment source analysis and USACE permitting) to address upland flats restoration within the scour channel created by Hurricane Harvey adjacent to the bulkhead west terminus at the Nature Preserve (Charlie’s Pasture). This project aims to restore approximately 30 acres of marsh and shallow water habitat impacted by both the initial creation of the scour channel by Harvey and subsequent erosion caused by the breach while open to the Corpus ship channel.
