The largest beach restoration project in Texas is now complete.
Crews recently finished Phase II of the McFaddin Beach Nourishment and Dune Restoration Project in Port Bolivar, restoring 14.5 miles of beaches and dunes.
This critical project helps protect vital marshlands and strengthens the coastline’s ability to recover from hurricanes and storms. The McFaddin National Wildlife Refuge, home to the Salt Bayou ecosystem — the largest estuarine marsh complex in Texas — now benefits from enhanced protection across 139,000 acres of habitat.
