The first of 1 million cubic yards of sand has been pumped onto the beach, in a $19 million project to replenish over 3.5 miles of beach along Galveston’s seawall.
The new project between 12th and 61st is being funded through the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Texas General Land Office, and the City of Galveston. When complete in May, the beaches along this four-mile stretch are expected to be widened by 100 to 150 feet.
