This project will analyze airborne topographic LIDAR in combination with new and historical optical imagery and ground surveys to understand the status and trends of the beach/dune system and to monitor the susceptibility of the coast to storm damage.
The BEG determined the spatial and temporal changes in inland marshes, mangroves, tidal flats, forested and riparian wetlands, and water bodies in the Beaumont-Port Arthur area.
The University of Texas’ Bureau of Economic Geology (BEG) proposes to determine spatial and temporal changes in inland marshes, mangroves, tidal flats, forested and riparian wetlands, and water bodies in a portion of the Brownsville-Harlingen area.
Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program will contract with the Bureau of Economic Geology, University of Texas at Austin, to determine spatial and temporal changes in inland marshes, mangroves, tidal flats, forested and riparian wetlands, and water bod
This project will continue the coast-wide study of wetlands in inland environments of the Texas coast.
This study will focus on mainland wetlands in Matagorda, Calhoun, Jackson, and Victoria counties, and will analyze wetland status and trends and probable causes for trends from the 1950s to 2004.
This project produced detailed status and trends information on wetlands on coastal barrier islands of the upper Texas coast and on seagrasses in Texas upper coast bays and estuaries.
The project determined the status and trends of wetlands on South Padre Island and Brazos Island including South Bay.
This project determined the status and trends of wetlands along the upper Texas coast between Christmas Bay and East Matagorda Bay.
Project to construct five data collection platforms that withstand hurricane force winds and storm surges.
Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi will assist in the strengthening and fortification of four Texas Coastal Ocean Observation Network (TCOON) data collection platforms that will better allow the platforms to withstand hurricane force winds and sto
The Port of Houston Authority will identify pollution sources through targeted wet weather sampling and evaluate phytoremedial source and treatment control best management practices.
Coastal communities implemented programs to address storm water runoff quality from urbanized areas using a combination of permanent storm water best management practices (BMP's) including wet retention ponds, dry detention ponds, and other struct
In this study samples from Ropes and Cole Parks will be collected and processed to the point of colony enumeration as part of the Texas Beach Watch program.
Resource Management Codes (RMC) inform users of state-owned submerged lands about ecological features associated with lease tracts which may affect a lessee’s ability to engage in certain activities on those tracts.
For the restoration of the shoreline, 140,000 cubic yards of sand were moved from a permitted site to Surfside beach and to grade it to create the new beach. Beach bull dozers were used to shape the coppice mounds.

This project, along with Project #1471, is part of an emergency erosion response strategy to address the critical erosion of the gulf-facing shoreline adjacent to Beach Drive at the Village of Surfside.
This project involved the final design and construction of a shoreline stabilization project along the Gulf shoreline at the Village of Surfside Beach, and was partially funded with FEMA Public Assistance funds.
This project updated a study initiated in Cycle 4 and completed in Cycle 5 which evaluated the factors contributing to the accelerated erosion rates of the gulf-facing shoreline adjacent to Beach Drive at the Village of Surfside Beach, examined feasibl
