Coastal Storm Risk Management:
A Regional Approach
Construction of a region-wide risk reduction system, along with ecosystem restoration, will improve our ability to respond to future storms and address long-term impacts of sea level
rise & land subsidence.
The Port Arthur Project is a component of the Sabine Pass to Galveston Bay Program (S2G) which includes project areas in the cities of Port Arthur (Jefferson), Freeport (Brazoria), and
Orange (Orange).
The objectives of the overall S2G Program include:
Reducing risks to human life from storm surge;
Reducing economic damages to residents, businesses, and infrastructure;
Enhancing energy security by reducing storm surge risk to petrochemical facilities; and
Reducing adverse physical impacts to waterways used for commercial and recreational activities.
Texas Coast Regional Approach
