The Coastal Texas Program
The Coastal Texas Program is a transformative initiative to deliver critically needed risk reduction from coastal storm surge for the communities, nationally important industries, and vital ecosystems of the Texas coast.
A partnership of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Gulf Coast Protection District, and the Texas General Land Office – the program represents an integrated and comprehensive coastal resiliency strategy, addressing a wide array of immediate and long-term coastal risk reduction and ecosystem restoration needs across the entire Texas coast.
Join with us in this ambitious effort to prepare the Texas coast to better withstand future hurricanes, helping to secure a resilient future for this vitally important region. This website will be updated regularly with status updates and further program information, in addition to ways you can learn more or get involved in the program moving forward.
