Work also includes endangered species monitoring and other environmental compliance measures.Construction is scheduled during the environmental window of November 1 through April 30 to avoid impacts to nesting sea turtles. Ecological Associates, Inc. will identify and relocate sea turtle nests before and during construction, and the contractor will perform this work during construction.The project is funded through Flood Control and Coastal Emergencies (FCCE) funds following damages from Hurricane Nicole in 2022. While the storm caused significant erosion along portions of Florida’s coast, USACE assessments found that the federal shore protection project performed as designed.Federal shore protection projects are engineered to reduce coastal storm risk by absorbing wave energy and allowing beaches to erode during storms while protecting roads, critical infrastructure, and homes. In addition to supporting economic stability and tourism, beach renourishment restores essential habitat for shorebirds and marine turtles.Learn more about beach nourishment at https://www.martin.fl.us/beach-nourishmentIndian Riverside Park Living ShorelineDesign consists of native materials to stabilize the shoreline, maintain public access, and restore critical habitat. The living shoreline will restore nearly 2 acres of seagrass habitat. The 24 breakwaters are under construction and the toe stone has begun to be installed at the base of the mangroves. Should be completed by end of Summer 2026. https://owl.martin.fl.us/app/f?p=301:2:11407595437413::::P2_LIST_GROUP_ID,P2_LIST_ID:100,8116Lend a Hand: Need a helping hand?
