The GeoTechnology Research Institute will analyze full 404 permit records (2008-2015) and add them to the reports created in phase 1 of the project to examine the success of mitigation sites. The team will compare ecological conditions within the
This project uses FEMA Public Assistance funds combined with CEPRA funds and a local partner in-kind contribution to address Hurricane Rita and Ike damages by repairing the beach and dune system that was constructed during CEPRA Cycle 3 to its post- co
This project, under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers beneficially used material dredged from the Brazos Santiago Pass to nourish the Gulf beach in front of the Town of South Padre island.
As an interim stabilization measure, 100,000 cubic yards of beach quality sand that had blown onto the Park Road 100 right-of-way were removed and hauled by truck and placed along 2,500 linear feet of the most critical eroding segments of the South Pad
The Town of South Padre Island developed an unimproved beach access point into a beach park the area between Gulf Boulevard and the Historic Building Line.
Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi (TAMUCC) will identify the sources of fecal indicator bacteria and nutrients to Corpus Christi Bay and the Laguna Madre.
The University of Texas at Austin (UT) will examine the long-term health of seagrasses in the Lower Laguna Madre, following protocols that evaluate seagrass condition based on landscape-scale dynamics.
Texas A&M University at Galveston will develop and conduct workshops across the Texas coast to train personnel required by US Fish & Wildlife Service to monitor sea turtle nesting activity concurrent to on-beach projects during the nesting seas
The University of Texas at Austin will educate the South Texas Coastal Community on the impacts of marine debris and encourage actions that mitigate damage to the region’s coastal environments by coordinating cleanup events on Mustang Island.
This project included a condition assessment and coastal engineering analysis on a revetment structure constructed along a segment of Gulf shoreline adjacent to the San Luis Pass fishing pier at Treasure Island.
This project will address the secondary and cumulative impacts (i.e., point and nonpoint sources of pollution) to the bay, both of which are in support of the goals of the §309 Enhancement Grant.
Aransas First developed a master plan for a public nature park on the lower Tule Creek, develop and create educational and informational materials, and design and construct a 320-foot extension to the existing viewing boardwalk with interpretive signs
The Turtle Bayou Protection Project will secure and protect into perpetuity approximately 511 acres of wetlands, riparian forests, and adjacent buffering forested uplands along the northwest shoreline of Turtle Bayou.
The project was a continuation from cycles 2, 3, and 4 and was partially funded in partnership with Galveston County. The Corps conducted scientific and engineering studies designed to understand the erosion processes affecting the upper Texas co
This Project developed final engineering specifications and plans to construct the public access and other facilities for University Marina Beach Park and to conduct beach profile surveys to monitor the beach.
This project will update the historical shoreline change rates that were last updated in 2000. These shoreline change rates are essential for identifying critical erosion areas and for identifying areas where coastal protection projects are needed.
The University of Texas, Bureau of Economic Geology (BEG), will determine the most recent long-term rates of shoreline change along the Gulf of Mexico shoreline of Texas by comparing previously determined past shoreline positions with positions interpr
The goal of this project will be to update the Texas Public Access Inventory and enhance the Texas General Land Office (TGLO) Beach and Bay Access Guide (BBAG).
