The Texas coast and port will
also be protected by 43 miles (69
km) of beach and dune segments
on Bolivar Peninsula and Galveston's
West End that interlink with
the Bolivar Roads Gate System
to form a continuous bulwark
of defense against ocean storm
surge, preventing or reducing surge
volumes that would otherwise
enter the bay system. Yet another
defense will consist of improvements
to the existing seawall on
Galveston Island to complete the
continuous line of defense against
Gulf storm surge.
The bay defenses will enable the
system to manage residual risks
from the run-up of water already
in the Galveston Bay system, plus
any additional storm surge that
overtops the Bolivar Roads Gate
System or other parts of the Gulf
line of defense. The bay defenses
also will provide further resilience
against variations in the storm
track and intensity, and relative
sea-level change.
Integrated Solutions
The Coastal Texas Resiliency
Improvement Plan embraces balanced
integration of both the latest
natural solutions and traditional
heavy-duty engineering solutions,
culminating in the Galveston Bay
Storm Surge Barrier System, which
masterfully combines the two.
This integration of the widest
variety of solutions into an optimal
operating plan is in turn made
possible by the collaboration of
a wide range of open-minded
stakeholders, including private
sector-related organizations like
Port Houston, federal government
agencies like the Army Corps of
Engineers, Texas state government
agencies like the General Land
Office, and environmental nonprofits
like the Nature Conservancy-
as well as a strong process for collaboration
through technical advisory
committees and community
work groups.
What the Army Corps of Engineers
and Texas General Land
Office are doing on the Texas coast
to combat storm surge and the
impacts of climate change demonstrates
on a grand scale that practical
solutions to complex coastal
resilience and climate change
issues can be designed and implemented,
and that these vital issues
can be managed. UL
