Summary
The project is located on the Gulf of Mexico side of Apffel Park in Galveston County, Texas. The Study uses fresh sargassum that has been baled in a prototype hay baler as the base for engineered dunes. The dunes containing the sargassum bales are compared to dunes without bales to determine if the bales provide additional stability and promote vegetation growth on the outside of the dunes.Basics
