Bulldozers then spread the sand around on the beach. The dredged sand is "fluidized" by the dredger and pumped into a 30-foot pipe from the Gulf to the beach. This project ensures that our beaches and infrastructure remain resilient after storms and any inclement weather events."Ĭounty Parks and Recreation Director Joe Vega said the sand for Isla Blanca's and SPI's beach renourishment is from the dredging of the Brazos Island Harbor Federal Navigation Channel (Brownsville Ship Channel) being undertaken by Weeks Marine Inc. "Beach renourishment projects are of significant importance to our area. Coat in parmesan mixture: Transfer to panko parmesan mixture, coat both sides while pressing mixture in to coat well. Then working with one at a time, dredge both sides in flour mixture, transfer to eggs and dredge both sides, lift and let excess run of. "This project will provide a wider and healthier beach for our visitors to enjoy and will help protect the beach at Isla Blanca Park against coastal erosion," she said. Dredge chicken flour and egg: Season chicken cutlets with salt and pepper on each side. Sofia Benavides, county commissioner for Precinct 1, likewise thanked the local, state and federal partners for their help. "Many thanks to our federal and state agencies involved and the city of South Padre Island, as this grand partnership yields to a long-term benefit of our coastal beaches, the continued protection of our dune system, area wildlife, endangered species, habitat and park infrastructure." "This is an exciting project we're pleased to announce," he said.
