The Causeway serves as an important transportation corridor, but also has approximately 2.5 - <br />miles of recreational shoreline. These popular beaches are favorites for swimming and water sports including <br />kayaking; kite boarduig; bailing and wind burfmg. Coastal 0ugineCti,rg arraly�e3 were completed to deterrtture w;11d3, <br />waves and sediment transport a)ong the Project shoreline. Designs were developed for shoreline stabilization <br />including rock revetment, mangrove planter and beach nourishment stabilization. <br />The beach nourishment was designed to avo;d ;mpacts to sensitive seagrass beds immediately adjacent To The Project <br />sho,CliuC. Jaud sources were evaluated based ou gemeechnical aualysCs to deTermurC the roost ecounmical and <br />compatible beach fill. The beach restoration project includes upland paving and grading as well as stormwater <br />management improvements. Field investigations were completed including hydrographic surveying and beach <br />profiling. Marine resource (seagrass) surveys were conducted, as well as upland native and exotic vegetation <br />,crapping. The field data was ut;l;,.ed to design a beach ,csTvtatron project that ;,,eluded upland paving artd grading as <br />wets as sto,n,wate, management imp►ovemeuts. ine $6m ptoject cou,bi„eii a„ ext,„sive upla,,3 exotic vegetation <br />removal effort with replanting of native salt -tolerant species.
