The project site is composed of the area between the for-dunes and the Gulf of Mexico. The City of Corpus Christi will develop plans in acordance with the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Beach Maintenance Permit.Item The Protection and Management of the Sargasso Sea(Sargasso Sea Alliance, 2011) Laffoley, D.d’A; Roe, H.S.J; Angel, M.V; Ardron, J; Bates, N.R; Boyd, I.L.; Brooke, S; Buck, K.N; Carlson, C.A; Causey, B; Conte, M.H.; Christiansen, S; Cleary, J; Donnelly, J; Earle, S.A; Edwards, R; Gjerde, K.M; Giovannoni, S.J.; Gulick, S; Gollock, M; Hallett, J; Halpin, P; Hanel, R; Hemphill, A; Johnson, R.J.; Knap, A.H; Lomas, M.W; McKenna, S.A; Miller, M.J; Miller, P.I.; Ming, F.W; Moffitt, R; Nelson, N.B; Parson, L; Peters, A.J; Pitt, J; Rouja, P; Roberts, J; Roberts, J; Seigel, D.A; Siuda, A.N.S; Steinberg, D.K; Stevenson, A; Sumaila, V.R.; Swartz, W; Thorrold, S; Trott, T.M.; Vats, V.Item Beach Maintenance Advisory Committee 2012-2013 Action Plan Final(2012) Beach Maintenance Advisory CommitteeItem Beach Action Plan February 2012(2012-02) Galveston Island Park Board of Trustees; Beach Maintenance Advisory CommitteeItem The Farming of Seaweeds(Smart Fish, 2012-03) De San, MichelItem Tonga National Marine Seaweed (Limu Tanga'u) Fisheries Management and Development Plan (2012-2013)(Minister of Agriculture and Food, Forests & Fisheries, 2012-10) Fisheries Management and Planning SectionItem Seawall Beautification Pilot Project(2012-12) Galveston Island Park Board of TrusteesItem Social and Economic Dimensions of Carrageenan Seaweed Farming(Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2013) Valderrama, Diego; Cai, Junning; Hishamunda, Nathanael; Ridler, NeilItem Park Board Beach Maintenance Policy(2013) Galveston Island Park Board of TrusteesItem Coastal Zone Management(2013-01-18) Galveston Island Park Board of TrusteesThe Coastal Zone Management department is responsible for the provision of seaweed removal and litter control services on Galveston's East Beach, Stewart Beach, Seawall beaches located between 10th and 61st Street, Dellanera RV Park, Seawolf Park, and the West End Pocket Parks. The Coastal Zone Management department also performs debris removal as needed along the entire coast.Item Galveston Park Board Seawall Beautification Project Update(2013-04-15) Galveston Island Park Board of TrusteesItem Texas A&M Seaweed Enhanced Dune Project Proposal(2013-05)Galveston Island is an eroding sand-starved barrier island located 50 miles southeast of Houston along the upper Texas coast approximately 60 miles from the Louisiana state line, at 29°18'17" latitude and 94º46'30" longitude. This proposed Innovative Technology Seaweed Prototype Dune Project would be implemented in the Apffel Park area on Galveston Island adjacent to the South Jetty. The proposed project area is accreting rapidly, and was one of the factors leading to its selection as the potential project site. Additional site benefits allow the demonstration project the opportunity to be monitored without being subject to immediate wave impacts. Erosion rates range from approximately -5.0m/yr west of the seawall to accretional areas of +10m/yr. per BEG. The majority of Galveston Island is eroding. Project proposes to utilize naturally occurring seaweed that washes ashore and utilize equipment to convert the seaweed into bales.Item Managing Seaweed Accumulations on Recreational Beaches(Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management, 2013-05) Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone ManagementItem Seaweed Water Bill Insert(2013-05-17) Galveston Island Park Board of TrusteesItem "Love Seaweed, Love Sea Life" Outreach Campaign(2013-06-21) Galveston Island Park Board of TrusteesGalveston Island is a popular beach destination, located on the Gulf Coast just 50 miles south of Houston. While the island receives visitors year-round, its peak months for visitation take place during summer when millions of visitors flock to its 32 miles of beaches. This heavy visitation period also coincides with the Gulf’s heaviest time for seaweed, which typically washes up on Galveston’s beaches May through August. The Galveston Park Board of Trustees, which manages the island’s public beach parks, does not remove seaweed from the beach because of its environmental benefits. Instead, it brushes seaweed away from the shoreline to create easier access to the Gulf for beachgoers. While some visitors don’t seem to mind the seaweed, a portion of vocal visitors find offense to the sight and smell of seaweed, labeling Galveston’s beaches as “dirty” in social media posts, complaints to the Park Board and other communications. In addition, for legal and budget purposes, in 2012 the Park Board altered its seaweed policy to no longer provide seaweed maintenance services to beach areas outside its jurisdiction. This change most drastically impacted the stretches of beach on the East End and West End where beach house rental properties are present.Item Seaweed Art Contest(2013-06-21) Galveston Island Park Board of Trustees
