Burnet Bay Wetlands Project Breaks Ground

The Burnet Bay Wetlands Restoration Project is now under construction! Contractors began preparing the site in late May and started construction in mid-June. Over the next several months, the contractor will be dredging on-site material to create marsh mounds. Upon completion, the project will restore over 30 acres of intertidal wetlands.

The project site can easily be seen from Crosby-Lynchburg Road. So take the family for a day of fun to San Jacinto State Park, ride the ferry across the Houston Ship Channel, and witness the progress of this project firsthand!

Thanks to the following project partners who have made this project possible: Restore America's Estuaries, NOAA Restoration Center, Texas General Land Office Coastal Management Program, Galveston Bay Estuary Program, Harris County, Mitsui USA, USFWS Coastal Program, Port of Houston Authority, Texas Parks and Wildlife, NRG Texas, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, and NOAA Fisheries Habitat Conservation Division.
