The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in partnership with the Texas General Land Office, began an examination in November 2015 of the feasibility of constructing projects for coastal storm risk management and ecosystem restoration along the Texas coast.  The Coastal Texas Protection and Restoration Feasibility Study, also known as the Coastal Texas Study, will involve engineering, economic and environmental analyses on large-scale projects, which may be considered by Congress for authorization and funding.  The feasibility study and report will be complete in 2021.  The Coastal Texas Study also will include a Comprehensive Plan to provide a long-term approach to enhance resiliency in coastal communities and improve our capabilities to prepare for, resist, recover and adapt to coastal hazards.
