CORPUS CHRISTI — Today, Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush announced the Texas General Land Office (GLO), in partnership with Allen Engineering and Science, will offer a series of workshops on the use of living shorelines. These shorelines serve as alternatives to traditional erosion prevention landscaping along the coast. The workshops will be held on Tuesday, July 30 in Corpus Christi, Tuesday, August 6 in Victoria and Thursday, August 8 in Texas City.

“Living shorelines benefit our Texas communities by providing natural stabilization, purifying the water, reducing erosion and buffering floods,” saidCommissioner Bush. “The GLO is excited to engage in this partnership to educate property owners on natural infrastructure solutions for the state of Texas.”

The GLO is working to raise awareness on the use of living shorelines as alternatives to traditional erosion prevention and shoreline stabilization methods.  These workshops will provide opportunities for attendees to contribute to the development of practical living shoreline documents and learn how the GLO can help during the living shoreline installation process. Lunch will be provided during all three workshops and we hope you will join us for informative presentations and hands-on demonstrations on how living shorelines can be used to protect and beautify your property.
