Crumbling shoreline gets reinforcement

Repairs have begun to add rock and reinforce about 350 feet of crumbling shoreline north of the windsurfing launch ramp (opposite of Mudpuppy’s) at Point Isabel. Temporary fencing has been installed to keep people (and dogs) away from heavy equipment and vehicles. Work started Sept. 6 and is scheduled until Oct. 31, but may take place through the end of the year. The EBRPD contractor may be working at night due to the tides schedule. Work areas will be fenced and park access remains open during this time.

In a separate ongoing project, some of the current small, fenced areas on North Point Isabel may soon be enlarged to combat erosion.

And, a major project, unrelated to this current work, to repair the landfill cap on North Point Isabel is slated to begin in 2023.
