Summary
Cameron County built a bulkhead to stabilize 1182 linear feet of shoreline at Adolph Thomae Park where erosion had been exacerbated by increased currents from the nearby Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, flooding from storms, and frequent barge traffic in the Arroyo Colorado River. With the bulkhead construction, erosion on the shoreline should be reduced by approximately 90%.
