Project Description
This construction project will restored and protected 16,300 linear feet of shoreline along the Nueces Bay by constructing a nearshore breakwater and living shoreline. The sandy shell hash and marsh shoreline has experienced scarping and formation of high bluffs, with average erosion rate for 2019 – 2021 at 18 ft/yr. Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Hanna destabilized the shoreline, leading to vegetation loss and increased erosion.
