Summary
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.
