A League of Cities and Counties on Beach and Coastal Issues in Florida

[Ani Dasgupta @AniDasguptaWRI]

Nature-based solutions for adaptation can be 2-5x more cost-effective than “gray” infrastructure such as dams and seawalls.

By working with nature, not against it, infrastructure projects could save billions per year—and result in greater social benefits and avoided losses.

As part of its Coastal Storm Risk Management mission, JaxStrong engineers assess beaches after Hurricane Ian. Water breached the dune at the Vilano Beach in St. Johns County, but A1A remained intact. @MyFDOT placed stone and sandbags to protect the road. #Ian #HurricaneIan

[FSBPA @FSBPA]

The reach of destruction left from #HurricaneIan is overwhelming. Our thoughts are with every person and community affected by this #unprecedented event.

[FSBPA @FSBPA]

We look forward to following this project. Keep the updates coming!

[UF Center for Coastal Solutions @UFcoastal]

Our team working on an Engineering with Nature project in Ponte Verda to better understand how intra and interspecific competition and interactions can enhance #dunerestoration and how they may be modified by changing density and nutrient levels!

As Pinellas beaches erode, a long-promised fix slips away. “You lose the beach, you lose it all.…more infrastructure at risk, we lose vital habitat and we lose an economic driver of the region. It’s too important to lose." Well said, Kelli Levy! https://t.co/60y4Ioa30Q

We'll be sure to tune in!

Join us Nov. 18 aboard Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas at Port Everglades, Ft. Laud, FL. Marine industry leaders, academia, research institutes, and NGOs will discuss a sustainable future for Florida's blue economy and ocean and coastal resources. https://t.co/SPOaXLqPZS

[FSBPA @FSBPA]

Thank you @Tayloreng for your dedication to inspire the next generation of coastal engineers!

[Taylor Engineering @Tayloreng]

Taylor Engineering’s William Warren, P.G. and James N. Marino, P.E., D.CE took our summer interns on a site tour of local projects including the SJ-14 DMMA Weir Rehabilitation, the St. Johns County FEMA Dune Enhancement, and the Summer Haven River Restoration.

Tourism and recreation top the chart in the nation's marine economy GDP - both are also vital to Florida's economy #beaches 🏖️☀️🌊

[NOAA @NOAA]

In 2020, America’s marine economy contributed about $361 billion of the nation’s gross domestic product & supported over 2 million jobs.

Congratulations @JaxStrong @StLucieGov for the successful completion of this important 3+ mile coastal storm risk management project. The #beach project looks great!

[USACE Jax District @JaxStrong]

At 10 am today in St Lucie County, we celebrate the ribbon cutting of the South Hutchison Island Coastal Storm Risk Management project. 480,000 cubic yards of new sand from the St Lucie Shoals now prvide a defense against future storms.

FSBPA agrees, beach nourishment is an important investment in Florida that is well worth the return in recreational, environmental, economic and storm protection benefits. It is the "best tool in the tool box" beaches recover from hurricanes https://t.co/49M25kTmdh via @tcpalm
