SPI BN w/ BUDM (2013 Event)

Summary

This project addressed a highly utilized recreational beach within the City of South Padre Island that experiences erosion rates of up to 5.8 feet per year. Through collaboration between the Corps, the City of SPI, and the GLO, approximately 180,000 cubic yards of beach quality sand dredged from the Brownsville Ship Channel were placed onto 2,600 feet of beach. The CEPRA program was awarded a Coastal Impact Assistance Program grant to fund the project.
