Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) will develop a conceptual model of nutrient inputs to the bay and the groundwater and surface water inputs to the Laguna Salada.
This project will conduct beach nourishment activities within a 600-foot construction width along 12-miles of shoreline.
Joint CEPRA-CIAP funded sand source study to develop a potential sediment inventory and volume determination of the Bolivar Roads Houston-Galveston Ship Channel north jetty area adjacent to Bolivar Peninsula and amend an existing USACE permit to incorp
Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program will implement a second phase of marsh restoration.
The project will restore and protect 16,300 linear feet of shoreline along the Nueces Bay by constructing a living shoreline with a nearshore breakwater to slow down the process of erosion at the project site and to increase the resiliency of
Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program will initiate dredge-and-fill operations (in accordance with its USACE permit) that will create another 15+ acres of marsh complex (with a high percentage of planting area) within the 80-acre containment cell.
The Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program (CBBEP) will implement volunteer marsh plantings at the Nueces Bay Marsh Project site.
Marsh restoration will consist of raising the bay bottom to a target elevation of +0.8 ft and +1.5 ft NAVD in order to support low-marsh communities; leaving open-water channels at current depths to allow for adequate water circulation; and appropriate
The Nueces Bay Portland Causeway Marsh is located on the northern portion of Indian Point Peninsula, north of Highway 181.
The Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program (CBBEP) will initiate public access improvements to Nueces Bay adjacent to the Nueces Bay Marsh Restoration Project site. The CBBEP owns a 33 acre parcel of land along the southbound side of Highway 181
This project protects important rookery island habitat in western Nueces Bay from wave induced erosion by construction of rock breakwaters around three rookery islands in Nueces Bay.
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and the Center for Coastal Studies performed sediment collection and analysis for zinc in Nueces Bay and the Inner Harbor. A compilation of a geodatabase of all existing water,
The Center for Coastal Studies will perform sediment collection and analysis of zinc in Nueces Bay and the Inner Harbor. This information will be used by TCEQ to develop a total maximum daily load for zinc.
The following tasks will be performed in the formulation of the ERP: 1. Map Dunes and Existing Set-Back Line (SBL); 2. Identification of Opportunities for Mitigation; 3. Erosion Response Plan Development; 4. Public Outreach
Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program will design and install a freshwater inflow management structure upstream from the discharge pipeline and implement earth-moving activities as needed to maximize the retention of freshwater inflows in the Nuece
On October 6, 2016 the USACE permit for construction of the breakwater structure was approved. The permit authorized the installation of 0.74 miles (3,901 linear feet) of breakwater system to provide shoreline protection at the Nueces Delta.
Texas A&M University Corpus Christi will assess the structure of the benthic community, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and fishes using trophic linkage assessment by multiple stable isotopes. This assessment is necessary to understand how effect
Project will provide an alternatives analysis to construct shoreline protection structures along the eastern portion of the Nueces River Delta.
