The GLO will contract with Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi’s Harte Research Institute (HRI) to conduct additional modeling that will assess the impacts of projected urban growth and sprawl on water quality and the environment within
A continued effort to improve and existing nowcast/forecast hydrodynamic modeling system of surface currents over the Texas Louisiana continental shelf. We will extend and enhance the current Texas Automated Buoy System Modeling Effort proje
The goal of this project is to build the next level of science and modeling into the GLO oil spill modeling system.
The City of Port Aransas (the City) will work to reduce nonpoint source pollution into local waters, reduce flooding from improper drainage and high tides, and inform their citizens of the value of their coastal resources and their role in ensuring sou

The project will build upon previous design efforts to protect the shoreline of Indian Point closest to the causeway where erosion continuously affects 1,900 linear feet of shoreline.
The GLO shall construct Indian Point East Shoreline Erosion Protection project which consists of the construction of approximately 1,800 linear-feet of breakwaters with six segments of 200 to 500 feet with 30-foot gaps, extending from the shoreline rev
Indian Point Peninsula supports the section of U.S.
Project includes engineering design, permitting & construction to repair Hurricane Harvey damage at Indianola Beach.
Maintenance re-nourishment in accordance with the GLO Beach Maintenance and Monitoring Plan of the Indianola Beach Nourishment and Shoreline Stabilization project on Matagorda Bay constructed under CEPRA Cycle 2 in 2003.
This project provides funding for the County Navigation District to contract with a coastal engineering firm to conduct the surveys and final design for a shoreline protection project and to develop a bid package.
AgriLife will develop a Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) covering water quality monitoring protocol and sample three stormwater wetland sites designed and planted by Texas A&M in the Galveston Bay Area.
The project is located on the Gulf of Mexico side of Apffel Park in Galveston County, Texas. The Study uses fresh sargassum that has been baled in a prototype hay baler as the base for engineered dunes.
This project proposes to automate the seabaling process via heavy-duty compaction/baling machinery and provide the first ever reapplication of compacted seaweed wrack to restore and enlarge dunes in a sustainable manner.
The installation of a near-shore directional wave gage/current profiler in Galveston, obtains data regarding the nearshore waves and currents. These data provides critical information for sediment transport and beach erosion studies such as
The aim of this project was to inform coastal landowners about the benefits, types, and permitting processes related to implementing living shoreline features along the coast of Texas.
The focus of this project is principally on improving the existing operational prediction of oil spills by providing automated nowcast and forecast capabilitites for multiple hydrodynamic models on a continuous biases for Texas bays.
This project will integrate data collected from the Autonaut with data from the existing buoy netowrk at TABS sites B, F, V and N with data from the newly installed high frequency radars at Rollover Pass and West Galveston Park. All collected dat
A long-term analysis of Texas Beach Watch bacterial data by Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) revealed that 25 Texas beaches are hotspots of bacterial pollution.
A long-term analysis of Texas Beach Watch (TBW) bacterial data by Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) revealed that 25 Texas beaches are hotspots of bacterial pollution. Results also revealed that bacterial pollution is increasing wi
