Delhide Cove/Starvation Cove Habitat Protection and Restoration

Galveston
Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CIAP)
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
The project is a continuation of two successful similarly-constructed restoration efforts in West Bay along the north shoreline of West Galveston Island by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. A 1200 ft geotextile tube breakwater will be constructed to protect approximately 50 acres of existing estuarine wetlands in West Bay that is currently experiencing shoreline erosion rates of up to 3.2 ft/yr. Following completion of the breakwater and marsh sediment preparation, the wetlands will be planted using a community-based volunteer program sponsored by the Galveston Bay Foundation.
