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
The Environmental Institute of Houston (EIH) at the University of Houston at Clear Lake will determine the most effective restoration method for Texas’ coastal grassland habitat.
Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi (TAMU-CC) will work to understand the near term (1-2 yr) ecosystem responses within East Bay to the closure of Rollover Pass.
Texas A&M University - Galveston (TAMU-G) will study the drivers of “red tide” blooms in Nueces-Corpus Christi Bay.
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.
The Matagorda Beach/Dune Committee decided at a public meeting on July 30, 2012 to review current beach access sites to determine which sites are still feasible, what action is needed to make them viable access sites again and investigate new access si
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
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 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).

Ducks Unlimited will produce updated wetland maps from Galveston to the Texas-Louisiana border using the most current available imagery, data, and mapping techniques, as the wetland inventory of the region is severely outdated.
Conduct an upland sand source assessment feasibility study to determine the viability and availability of potential upland sand sources located on Galveston Island that may be utilized on future coastal restoration projects. Project to include dat
The Upper Oso Watershed Water Quality Improvement and Habitat Education Project will construct a Best Management Practices 3-acre detention wetland, located at LyondellBasell Park, establish habitat along the perimeter of the wetland, incorporate a pub
This project address this lack of education and subsequent adverse impacts in two ways: with proper education about NPS pollution, water quality and the function and value of wetlands for water quality of Galveston Bay, and the on-the-ground restoratio
Texas A&M University at Galveston surveyed Bolivar Peninsula beaches to characterize extent of the Kemp's ridley sea turtle nesting season, annual number of nesters and nests laid, nest location, preferred nesting habitat(s), and fidelity of nester
The project includes engineering design and construction of a groin system and widen the beach to restore its historical recreational and natural resource value and protecting public infrastructure, utilities and private property.
Virginia Point is located on the southwest side of Galveston Bay in Galveston County, Texas.
The Coastal Bend Bays Foundation (CBBF) will develop a new annual program for marsh planting and restoration in the Coastal Bend.
The City of South Padre Island will improve the existing public beach access easements located on the island for residents and tourists. The City will improve one easement located on the Northern side of The Pearl Hotel.
