This project would restore the remains of a 15-acre island that once protected the navigation channel at the northern
end of Sabine Lake at Pleasure Island by using dredged material to build up the island and construct up to 2000
feet of breakwater. The project would also restore up to 40
acres of island habitat on the Sabine-Neches Waterway in Jefferson County, along the southern boundary of the
navigation channel separating the channel from the Sabine Lake. The restored habitat would contain wetlands and
vegetated shallows. Based on available funding, the
project also could be configured as a single breakwater without beneficial use of dredged material (BUDM) or
planting. This could reduce the project cost by approximately $2.5 million.
