Mustang Island Habitat Protection and Enhancement

Summary

Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program will 1) repair existing and install new bollards and cable to protect the entire ~1,200 acre Mollie Beattie and Kate's Hole preserves by limiting access to certain areas within the preserves; 2) make improvements to existing driveways and parking areas to allow for safe public access; 3) remove debris such as large concrete blocks from wetlands near the driveways and parking areas within the preserves to provide more functioning coastal marsh and tidal flat habitat.
