The City South Padre Island received the Mobi-mats purchased by the General Land Office (GLO). They will be installed at two locations. The first is Fantasy Circle where they will be trying to elevate and reduce the chances of over wash during high wave energy events. The other is Harbor Circle. This project will take additional work. The City plans to obtain a permit from the state because they will be moving sand and disturbing vegetation to realign the access and eliminate the gap created by beach access traffic. Preliminary talks with the GLO have all gone well and they expect a quick turnaround so the mats can be installed within a few weeks. The areas disturbed at Harbor Circle may be among the areas they will vegetate with their Volunteer Dune Planting program starting this fall.
