The GLO shall complete the planning, design, and construction of up to 7,550 linear feet of breakwaters in the Butterowe Bayou, Oak Bayou, and Dana Cove areas, under Galveston Island State Park Marsh Restoration and Protection – Phase III. Texas
The addition of sand for this shoreline is a crucial component of stabilizing or at a minimum slowing the erosion rates in the area.
A feasibility study will be conducted to determine the viability of Galveston Park Board of Trustees and City of Galveston ownership, maintenance and operation of a hydraulic dredge to enable ongoing beach nourishment.
The Sediment Bedload Collector Project is intended to analyze the efficacy of a sand bypassing/backpassing technology to relocate sediment from accreting areas to those adjacent areas experiencing a sediment deficit.
The Galveston Seawall is located in the City of Galveston and was constructed to reduce impacts to Galveston Island from storm surge. The beach located along the seaward section of the seawall has experienced severe erosion.
This project included the design and construction of a beach nourishment project placing beach-quality sand on the gulf beach in front of the seawall from 10th to 61st street in the City of Galveston, due to erosion caused by Hurricane Ike.
Beach nourishment project beneficially utilizing approximately 750,000 cubic yards of material dredged from the U.S.
The Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program (CBBEP), in partnership with the Harte Research Institute, developed a strategy to create a geohazards map of North Padre and Mustang Islands.
The Harte Research Institute will develop a geohazards map of South Padre Island. The map will delineate critical environments and features (e.g.

Texas A&M University at Galveston (TAMUG) will conduct a Geological Framework Study of Follett’s Island and create a data set that will be used to develop a process-based numerical model to predict future beach erosion and morphological changes on
During the summer of 2013, Texas A&M at Galveston (TAMUG) was funded to collect the swath bathymetry and side scan sonar data needed to mosaic the inner shelf of Folletts Island from a depth of 3 meter to 10 meter isobaths.
The Bolivar Peninsula nourishment project completed in early 2004 was significantly degraded by hurricane Rita in September 2005. This nourishment project will repair some of that damage through FEMA funding. The repair involves truck hauli
Audubon Texas will assemble GIS data and build a spatial, habitat-based model to predict the risk of islands along the GIWW becoming unusable for nesting due to poor habitat or erosion damage.
Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) will procure one part-time student to assist the GLO with completing a GIS inventory of mitigation sites and living shoreline projects on state-owned submerged lands in Texas.
