Anahuac NWR Shoreline Protection

Project Description

This project provided shoreline stabilization for Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge and prevented emergent and coastal prairie loss due to erosion along the GIWW. The GIWW has increased in width from it's original dredged width of 150' to over 700' in some sections of this reach. Stabilizing the banks of the GIWW will prevent further erosion and loss of emergent loss and upland prairie, and will provide for the re-establishment of emergent marsh.
