Restoration and Erosion Protection of Rookery Islands and Habitat in Nueces Bay
pg. 205 In the spring of 2002, a project was completed for island protection, creation, and enhancement near White Point within the northwest portion of Nueces Bay, Texas. The four primary purposes of the project were to decrease erosion, provide additional nesting area, provide additional hard subs...
