LAGUNA MADRE MITIGATION SITE is a Pay for Performance project in Cameron County, Texas, located along the Laguna Madre Estuary. Known as “the hatchery” by local residents, the property was historically used as an aquaculture facility for shrimp production. EIP is bringing the property back to life by removing aquaculture ponds, re-establishing tidal flow, and reconstructing a mosaic of tidal and vegetated flats.
The Laguna Madre is a long, shallow, hypersaline lagoon along the western coast of the Gulf of Mexico in Nueces, Kenedy, Kleberg, Willacy, and Cameron Counties in Texas. It is one of seven major estuaries along the Gulf Coast of Texas, spanning 439 square miles in total.
