Regional beach restoration plan for three consecutive barrier islands in South Florida..
TALLAHASSEE, FL, FLORIDA SHORE AND BEACH PRESERVATION ASSOCIATION: 290-303.
A beach restoration management plan is developed for a region spanning three consecutive barrier islands and two inlets in South Florida. This region located within Dade County, encompasses the barrier islands of Fisher Island, Virginia Key, Key Biscayne, and two inlets, Norris Cut and Bear Cut. Identification of future project needs for each of the separate barrier islands, is developed based on the evaluation of past performance of beach restoration projects and the study of the physical processes affecting each island. A regional approach is recommended towards developing cost effective solutions for the long-term management of both beaches and adjacent inlets.
