Monitoring Design Criteria and Biological Indicators for Seagrass Monitoring in the CBBEP Study Area - Final Phase
Lower Coast
Coastal Management Program (CMP)
Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program
The Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program (CBBEP) will conduct a study to determine the critical physical and chemical environmental factors necessary for the restoration of seagrass beds in the lower Texas coast. The proposed project will identify the plant, water column, and landscape indicators that provide the most critical information on water quality criteria that is relevant to successful maintenance and growth of seagrasses.

The project will complete a shoreline protection project that was partially completed in CEPRA Cycle 1. Phase 2 will construct 2,400 linear feet of breakwaters to help preserve the Texas City Prairie Preserve through the installation of partially-emergent segmented rock breakwaters parallel to and extending offshore from the existing shoreline. The project will beneficially affect a total of 400 acres of coastal habitat and is partially funded through a National Coastal Wetlands Protection grant through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program will implement a second phase of marsh restoration. Marsh restoration is to consist of raising bottom elevation to support low-marsh communities, designing channels for adequate circulation through the raised areas, and planting appropriate vegetation. The marsh complex and causeway will be protected by an earthen or stone berm. The Phase 2 budget of $655,000 will allow for the restoration of another 20+ acres of crucial marsh habitat.
