In 2014, Texas dumped 126,000 cubic yards of mud dug from a ship channel onto a shrinking island; the unusual move rebuilt about 5 acres for nesting birds
Sundown Island in Texas has encountered harsh shoreline erosion that has greatly impacted local bird populations. To counter this, a recent initiative involved dredging sediments from Matagorda Ship Channel to augment the island's landmass.
