Goat Island project hopes to restore marshland and wildlife
By the late 1970s Goat Island vanished until dredged material from a port widening project was redirected to create 4200 acres of marshland. The plan uses 4 million cubic yards of dredged material for two containment dikes forming 80 acre and 130 acre islands, with completion in years ahead. Officials expect rainwater leaching and wildlife habitat gains, with management likely by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department and port authorities.
