The news article states it will be 10.5 miles east of Packery. That would probably be federal waters. Wonder how the city is able to spend money on a project that is not in the city limits, much less the boundry of the state of Texas.

Says its in state waters... Maybe 10.5 miles due east of packery isn't more than 9 miles out of other shoreline.

Sure it will!!! Wink


This is good to see. I was at the very first SEA meeting many years ago and joined because they promised to do things such as this offshore. It never happened so I dropped out. I am glad they are making good on their promise.

Well maybe.

9 nauti miles is something like 10.35 statute miles if memory serves me.

Thanks for the information TH.
Great project.
I sure hate to see the City of Corpus Christi get involved in this, they'll
want to figure out a way to make money......like trying to charge everyone some type of user fee, maybe putting a charge on our Utility Bill
or having a "Reef Parking Permit".
LMAO Very Happy Very Happy

what i meant was since the coast curves.. if you go 10.5 miles east of packery, you might be able to go due north and hit texas coast in like 7 or 8 miles.
