Juno Beach Shoreline Protection

 

Renourishment Project Completed March 2010

Juno Beach Shoreline History

  • The beach was first nourished with offshore sand in 2001
  • Several major storm events have accelerated shoreline erosion in this area
  • Nourished beaches typically have a life of 5 to 10 years before renourishment is required
  • 2001 Beach Nourishment Project

Project Location

The Problem
  • Ongoing erosion is threatening A1A, infrastructure, and beach habitat

The Solution-Completed 2010
  • Added approximately 1 million cubic yards of sand to the coastal system to act as a sacrificial berm
  • Planted over 50,000 native sea oat plants to restore the eroded dune south of the Juno Pier
