The Matagorda Bay Foundation will complete all required permitting and design for a pilot experiment to restore seagrass in Matagorda and other bays.
The entrance to Matagorda Beach is narrow and the sand is deep. Frequently, beachgoers trying to access the beach via car get stuck in the sand and block access for other drivers.
Project to construct six picnic pavilions and a interpretive/directional kiosk at Matagorda County
Construction of a permanent handicap accessible public restroom at the primary beach access point of Sargen Beach park.
This project will result in the restoration of 2,500 acres of contiguous wetland, and an increase in the abundance and diversity of species that utilize the wetlands. Restoration will include installing water-exchange structures (such as culverts
Texas A&M University at Galveston will expand its existing monitoring program to encompass several other restoration projects, including newly (< 5 yr) created BUDM sites. In preparation of this study a subset of the mointored sites w
In September of 2009, the GLO received an Estuary Restoration Act grant through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for approximately $915,000 to restore approximately 75 acres of inter-tidal marsh complex habitat within a 108-ac
The Trust for Public Land (TPL) will purchase approximately 67 acres of coastal habitat at McAllis Point, located in Galveston County. After TPL acquires the property, it will be conveyed to an appropriate public steward, who will be the ultimate
An alternative analysis was done to evaluate engineering solutions of the critical erosion and habitat degradation problem at McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge Gulf Shoreline near Salt Bayou. This phase of the project entailed intial coordination
Project will provide nourishment of a beach ridge and adjacent beach along the Gulf of Mexico Shoreline in the McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge.
This project proposes to place sand fencing along one mile of McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge. This is a low-cost methodology to help the dune system adjacent to the refuge rebuild itself after being damaged by Hurricane Ike.
The objective of this project is to reduce the rate of shoreline erosion and loss of the existing beach ridge to protect the fresh to brackish water marshes of the McFaddin NWR from the increasing frequency of salt water inundation from the Gulf of Mex
Address permit requirements, update and extend a previously compiled sand source investigation, for the beach ridge and beach nourishment along the shoreline at the McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge.
The project will focus on data collection, including bathymetric and topographic surveys, and data analysis. By analyzing new and existing data, beach profiles were developed for 19 coastal miles in Jefferson and Galveston counties.
Ducks Unlimited (DU) Inc. will install earthen terraces to decrease water turbidity and increase submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in the Willow Lake complex area.
McGee Beach is located in Nueces County along the northern shoreline of Corpus Christi Bay.
The overall goal of this project is to improve the management, protection, and restoration of bay systems in Texas through acquiring new, research-grade airborne topographic lidar data of the bay shorelines, determining shoreline position and morpholog
The City of Rockport acquired 10-acres of native Live Oak/Red Bay habitat, including a 2.6 acre pond, with the support of CMP Funds under Cycle #4.
Texas A&M University will assess the ingestion of microplastic in juvenile finfish and shellfish in Baffin Bay, Aransas Bay, San Antonio Bay, and Matagorda Bay.
In 2004, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality classified the tidal segments of the Mission and Aransas Rivers as impaired due to elevated bacteria levels.
