The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded Ducks Unlimited, Inc., a $9.99 million Cooperative Agreement under the Habitat Conservation program (CFDA 11.463) effective October 1, 2026, through December 31, 2029. The award funds nature-based shoreline stabilization and estuarine marsh restoration within the West Galveston Bay Watershed across two counties in the Greater Houston Metropolitan Area. Primary deliverables include the design and installation of nearshore rock breakwaters to reduce wave energy and erosion caused by vessel wakes, wind-driven waves, and tides, followed by restoration of tidal marsh complexes containing emergent vegetation, open water, and tidal flats in stabilized areas between the breakwaters and shorelines. Complementing the physical restoration work, NOAA funding also supports education outreach programs and early career development opportunities in natural resources targeting underserved communities. The project is projected to benefit approximately 19,395 individuals in underserved communities and 10,625 students through these education and workforce development initiatives. By implementing these ecosystem resilience measures, the project addresses critical conservation objectives including fisheries productivity enhancement, marsh habitat protection from conversion to open water, and increased community resilience to coastal climate hazards including tropical storms.Federal Cooperative Agreement Summary
