Far West Galveston Island Beach Nourishment Repair

Summary

FEMA Public Assistance funds will be combined with CEPRA funds on this Hurricane Ike repair project adjacent to four subdivisions on the far west end of Galveston Island between Jamaica Beach and San Luis Pass. The 5500 Association, Kahala Beach Estates, Terramar and the Sea Isle subdivisions had previous beach nourishment projects constructed in CEPRA Cycle 3 that were damaged by Hurricane Ike. The restoration of the beach to pre-storm condition will help to provide the necessary conditions for the development of a natural dune system.
