Jamaica Beach - Beach Nourishment and Dune Restoration

Summary

During Cycle 3, preliminary engineering and permitting tasks were conducted for a beach nourishment project that will restore the eroded beach at the City of Jamaica Beach on Galveston Island. Because construction was postponed until after the 2005 turtle-nesting season, the construction phase of the project was carried forward into Cycle 4. The dune restoration phase of the project was completed in August of 2006. The beach nourishment phase could not be constructed during Cycle 4 due to sand source and USACE permit issues.
