The General Land Office will work with Texas A&M Conrad Blucher Institute to conduct beach profile surveys in accordance with the Beach Monitoring and Maintenance Plan.
Project will provide surveys of engineered beaches as required by the Beach Monitoring and Maintenance Plan.
Project to measure (cross-shore) beach profiles every two miles from Freeport, Texas to the geotextile tubes east of Rollover Pass on Bolivar Peninsula.
American Bird Conservancy (ABC) will use funding to engage and educate the public and land managers on beach-nesting bird stewardship.
The American Bird Conservancy will promote the survival of declining coastal breeding birds through protecting coastal natural resource areas and collecting and analyzing demographic data for targeted bird species.
Shoreline change rates were calculated using the latest coast-wide airborne lidar data acquired in February 2012.
The goal of this project is to provide up to 90% project design, including geotechnical analysis, magnetometer surveys, and revisions to engineering and permit packages on up to five high priority BU project sites in GLO Regions 3 and 4 and that are cu
Ducks Unlimited, Inc. will create a master plan for beneficial use (BU) of dredge material along the lower Texas coast. Developing a BU master plan will provide the foundation for future restoration projects for decades.
The study explores uncertainties and errors in current sediment transport and budget practices, aiming to provide recommendations for best practices in sediment transport modeling in support of coastal sediment management.
Project to purchase scientific and education equipment and supplies for the Discovery complex located on Brazoria National Wildlife Refuge.
The Texas
Agricultural Experiment Station will conduct side-by-side comparisons
of different plant species to see which is most effective at minimizing
the effects of wave-induced erosion.
This Texas Water Development Board project is part of a larger Estuarine Responses Project being conducted by the University of Texas.
The Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) will continue to study the interactions of ecology and hydrology in San Antonio Bay, which was begun by TWDB with the 2007 State CIAP Phase 1 project "Biological Study of San Antonio Bay." In Phase 2, TWDB
The Project includes engineering and design necessary to develop strategies for the restoration and protection of up to 170 acres of estuarine marsh complex within West Bay in the Galveston Bay system.
From the mid-1950s to 2002, the amount of estuarine marsh in West Galveston Bay has decreased by 32%, estuarine tidal flats have declined by 61%, and palustrine marshes have decreased by 50%. This project will protect approximately 114 acres of e
This project will finalize engineering and construct approximately 8,820 linear feet of rock breakwaters, approximately 13,500 linear feet of floatation channels, and the beneficial use of dredge materials if the floatation channels are const
The National Audubon Society will develop 90% designs and apply for the necessary permits for a new bird rookery island at the mouth of Carancahua Bay.
Galveston Bay Foundation will continue its marketing campaign for boaters and marinas. The campaign emphasizes 1) environmental harm caused by raw sewage and 2) how boaters can properly dispose of their waste.
The Galveston Bay Foundation will decrease the incidences of illegal discharge of boater sewage waste in the Galveston Bay Estuary, particularly Clear Lake, through targeted outreach and education to boaters.
The project involves the development of social marketing messages suitable for, but not limited to, personal communications via presentations and exhibits, print, billboard, and Internet use.
