Burnet Bay, in the Galveston area near Houston, Texas, has seen the ground sink noticeably in coastline areas as the result of factors such as water intake for industry, and important wetlands that maintain various ecosystems are disappearing as a result. This project aims to raise the level of some of the wetland beds in the bay and restore them by planting wetland vegetation. Intercontinental Terminals Company (ITC), a fully-owned Mitsui & Co. subsidiary that operates a chemical tank terminal in the region has agreed to this activity and will supply volunteers, including employees and employees of Mitsui & Co. (U.S.A.) to help with the planting once construction to raise the sea bed is completed. The region has low water levels and a solid floor and is ideal for wetland restoration. The floor will be raised to a level that allows the cultivation of vegetation, which in turn will preserve fish habitats, improve water quality and preserve the coastline, enabling the restoration of wetland functions. This project has raised a great deal of interest amongst people in the region and in addition to the benefits to local ecosystems and communities, it will also serve as a model for larger-scale wetland restoration in industrial areas.
