Port Aransas Nature Preserve Shoreline Protection Repair

Summary

This project restored portions of a revetment damaged by Hurricane Ike back to their original post-construction state. The revetment was installed along 6,000 feet of shoreline adjacent to the Corpus Christi Ship Channel and jetties at the mouth of Piper Channel near Port Aransas during the Cycle 5 phase of a phased shoreline protection program that began in Cycle 1 and continued through Cycles 2, 3, 4 and 5. Over 2,000 acres of wetland habitat at the Port Aransas Nature Preserve are being protected by this erosion response project.
