dc.description.abstractThe Port of Houston Authority has a plan to deepen and widen the Houston Ship Channel in order to accommodate larger ships. It is thought that the number of ships using the channel will be reduced. This project emphasizes economics as well as safety. One feature included is the restoration of 4,250 acres of marsh and wetlands; an 8 acre bird nesting island will also be created. The removal of the Baytown Tunnel is necessary for this project and has already begun.en_US
