Summary
In September of 2009, the GLO received an Estuary Restoration Act grant through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for approximately $915,000 to restore approximately 75 acres of inter-tidal marsh complex habitat within a 108-acre area along the north West Galveston Island shoreline adjacent to West Galveston Bay in order to enhance and protect existing estuarine and coastal habitats. This project is being matched with CEPRA money and $100,000 from NRG Texas Power in in-kind plant donations. The GLO is partnering with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to complete this project.
