On Saturday, November 17, more than 100 beach-loving volunteers helped the Surfrider Foundation South Texas Chapter and the City of South Padre Island kick off the Dune Restoration Planting Season! Individuals and groups from the University of Texas at Brownsville, Island Baptist Church, Origins Recovery and the Girl Scouts as well as locals from the Lower Laguna Madre area and South Padre Island City Council and Staff members helped to plant 14,000 Dune Plants at the Harbor Street Beach Access. These new plants will help fill in a dune gap created by a temporary vehicle access and prevent future wash-overs.
