Goose Island Shoreline Stabilization and Marsh Restoration - Phase 2
Summary
The objective of this project is to mitigate the loss of valuable intertidal estuarine marsh habitat due to erosion by completing the 24-acre created marsh site through the beneficial use of dredged material (BUDM). BUDM will raise the elevation of the bay bottom inside the created marsh site to a level that supports smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) marsh. The smooth cordgrass restores and enhances nursery habitat for fishery species and feeding habitat for avian species. The dredged material will come from dredging two small boat channels, enhancing public boater access to Aransas Bay, St. Charles Bay and Cedar Bayou.
