Oliver Point Shoreline Protection and Reef Restoration

Summary

The Matagorda Bay Foundation (MBF) and the General Land Office will oversee the development of a restoration plan for Oliver Point and Oliver reef. Oliver Point and Oliver reef project sites are located approximately 3 miles SSW of Palacios at the confluence of Tres Palacios and Matagorda Bays. Prior to the passage of hurricane Claudette in 2003, the area was characterized by the uniquely proximal locations of several important coastal habitats; oyster reef, tidal wetlands and protection and enhancement of Coon Bay Island.
