Project Description
In 2002 CBBEP worked in partnership with the GLO to install geotextile tubes to protect the Nueces Bay Rookery Islands. Upon inspection in 2015 it was observed that most of the geotextile tubes had failed. This project constructed additional erosion protection reduction structures around the Nueces Bay Rookery Islands and placed fill to restore habitat. The islands provide much needed nesting and loafing habitat for colonial waterbirds in addition to protecting nearby critical foraging areas.
