The Nature Conservancy will construct approximately 2.5 miles of permanent offshore, rock breakwater structure along the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway (GIWW) in Matagorda County along the shoreline of the Mad Island Wildlife Management Area, an estuarine
This project will implement Phase III of a habitat restoration and shoreline stabilization project by completing 100% engineering and construct about 10,340 feet of breakwater to provide approximately 12,300 linear feet of permanent shoreline
Mad Island project will build approximately 3,010 linear feet of rock breakwater would be constructed to protect approximately 197 acres of existing marsh and upland habitat that may be potentially lost under the current erosion rate without the projec
Texas RICE constructed an approximately 35-acre wetland and restored 30 acres of abandoned farmland into native prairie on the Mad Island Wildlife Management Area, which provides significant value to wildlife and water quality.
Calhoun County will construct two pavilions for public use in the Miller Point area with the goal of encouraging ecotourism and outdoor education. Use of the pavilions will be free of charge.
Phase 1 (alternatives analysis phase) of a project to address erosion along an approximately of 5,700 linear-foot segment of Lavaca Bay shoreline adjacent to Magnolia Beach in Calhoun County.
Magnolia Inlet is located on the southwest side of Matagorda Bay in Calhoun County, Texas. This project would remove a portion of the blocked inlet to restore tidal flow and stop the erosion of interior wetlands and the adjacent shoreline.
Black mangroves are expanding into Texas coastal wetlands and displacing marsh plants. The effects on coastal biodiversity and wetland biogeochemistry are largely unknown.
This study delineated washover areas for the five priority areas
This project identified and delineate the aquatic habitats found in the South Bay Coastal Preserve by acquiring color aerial photography. The photography is used to produce digital and hard copy basemaps.
This project constructed detailed maps of the Galveston Bay bottom in four areas, two each in Trinity Bay and East Bay.
This project provided the base line data needed to assess the current seabed conditions around Pass Cavallo. This data was used to develop an assessment of the geological evolution of the Pass and develop a Tidal Inlet Management Plan for all of
Texas A&M University at Corpus Christi will create a map of favorable habitats for oyster farming in terms of substrate and surface-groundwater discharge in Matagorda Bay.
The Texas Agricultural Experiment Station will set up a monitoring system composed primarily of Sediment Erosion Tables (SET) that will allow researchers to quantify the accretion rate in various restored and natural marshes along the upper Texas coast
The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) constructed an 732 square-foot, American with Disabilities Act-compliant restroom facility with water fountain and outdoor showers. The building constructed from concrete block, concrete, and structural re
The Lower Colorado River Authority will prepare a guidebook to the Matagorda Bay Nature Park and Preserve in Matagorda County, Texas for use by the public and by LCRA's educational outreach programs.
The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) constructed a 5 ft.
The Lower Colorado River Authority will construct a trail, elevated wetlands boardwalk and permanent kayak launch pad at Matagorda Bay Nature Park.
The Matagorda Bay Foundation will plant seagrass at seven different sites in Matagorda Bay and collect water quality data as the seagrass reestablishes. The goal of the project is to help increase Matagorda Bay shoreline resilience.
