  • Experience Ocean, Lakes Abd Everglades in the Palm Beaches
    YEAR 2017 Experience Ocean, Lakes and Everglades in The Palm Beaches, Florida Discover the best way to experience Florida’s great outdoors, unique wildlife and natural beauty in The Palm Beaches. Situated between 47 miles of Atlantic Ocean and the shores of Lake Okeechobee, the largest lake in the southeastern United States, The Palm Beaches is the gateway to the Everglades and home to treasured animal sanctuaries, untouched nature preserves and a diverse range of soft adventure activities. TAKE A HIKE (OR PICTURE) Beauty is just a short hike away. The terrain is mostly flat, but tropical trees and plants abound with exotic wonder. Trek alongside wetlands in the Everglades or through wide-open wet prairie, no matter the trail, hikers will find sunshine serenity. DuPuis Management Area – Canal Point, FL The DuPuis Management Area is a 21,875-acre multi-use natural area located in the northwestern part of The Palm Beaches. The park land is interspersed with numerous ponds, wet prairies, cypress domes, pine flatwoods and remnant Everglades marsh. The area provides miles of hiking and horseback trails, an equestrian center, graded vehicle roads, backpack and group campsites as well as seasonal hunting. DuPuis is far from urban areas, and its dark night sky lends itself to excellent stargazing. Harold A. Campbell Public Use Area This site covers 17,000 acres on the southern border of The Palm Beaches, making it the largest constructed wetland in the world. Its public use area provides access to vast wetland habitat where bicyclists, hikers and birdwatchers can see a variety of wildlife native to Florida.

That list included 217.6 miles of critical erosion and another 114.8 miles of noncritical erosion statewide.

  • Intracoastal Waterway, Jacksonville to Miami, Florida: Maintenance Dredging
    FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY, JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA, TO MIAMI, FLORIDA MAINTENANCE DREDGING Prepared by U. S. Army Engineer District, Jacksonville Jacksonville, Florida May 1974 INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY. JACKSONVILLE TO MIAMI MAINTENANCE DREDGING ( ) Draft (X) Final Responsible Office: U. S. Army Engineer District, Jacksonville, Florida. 1. Name of Action: (X) Administrative ( ) Legislative 2. Description of Action: Eleven shoals are to be removed from this section of the Intracoastal Waterway as a part of the regular main­ tenance program. 3. a. Environmental Impacts. About 172,200 cubic yards of shoal material in the channel will be removed by hydraulic dredge and placed in diked upland areas and as nourishment on a county park beach south of Jupiter Inlet. b. Adverse Environmental Effects. Dredging will have a temporary adverse effect on water quality and will destroy benthic organisms in both the shoal material and on the beach. In addition, some turtle nests at the beach nourishment site may be destroyed. 4. Alternatives. Consideration was given to alternate methods of spoil disposal. It was determined that the methods selected (as described in paragraph 1) would best accomplish the purpose of the project while minimizing adverse impact on the environment. 5.

Pre-emptive strategies for enhanced sand bypassing and beach replenishment activities in southeast Florida: A geological perspective. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 18, 59-89. Fort Lauderdale (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Although beaches on the southeast Florida coast are periodically replenished in an effort to reduce shoreline recession, such efforts have been only moderately successful. Erosion of sandy beaches on the downdrift (south) sides ofjettied inlets is a chronic problem that requires remediation. In order for erosion control measures to be effective, e.g. function harmoniously within the natural balance of coastal systems, coastal protection measures must consider the geological framework for this subtropical coast as it influences strategies for coastal management.

The erosion problem areas are classified as either critical or non-critical and county maps and tables are provided to depict the areas designated critically and non-critically eroded. Many areas have significant historic or contemporary erosion conditions, yet the erosion processes do not currently threaten public or private interests. These areas are therefore designated as non-critically eroded areas and require close monitoring in case conditions become critical. This report, originating in 1989, is periodically updated to include additions and deletions. All information is provided for planning purposes only and the user is cautioned to obtain the most recent erosion areas listing available in the updated critical erosion report of 2016 on pages 4 through 20 or refer to the specific county of interest listed

  • Hurricane Floyd and Irene (1999)
    The Impact of Hurricane Floyd & Hurricane Irene on the Florida East Coast 1999 Post-Storm Report No. BCS-00-01 Ralph R. Clark Florida Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems April 2000 STORM SUMMARIES Hurricane Floyd Hurricane Floyd formed in the eastern north Atlantic as a tropical wave that moved off the African coast on September 2nd (figure 1). After traveling westward several days, the eighth tropical depression of the season became organized on September 7th and was upgraded to Tropical Storm Floyd on September 8th and then to Hurricane Floyd on September 10th when it was about 200 miles from the Leeward Islands. On September 11th, Floyd slowed, turned to the northwest and avoided the northeast Caribbean. A turn westward coincided with strengthening, and from September 12 to 13 Floyd strengthened to an intense category four hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Classification Scale. Floyd passed just northeast of San Salvador and the Cat Islands in the Bahamas late on September 13 but grazed Eleuthera Island on September 14 in the morning and turned northwest moving over Abaco Island in the afternoon where there was slight weakening from its peak intensity. Floyd finally veered from its track toward Florida moving northwest then north paralleling the coast. Hurricane Floyd’s eye came within 95 nautical miles off Cape Canaveral on September 15 before heading north toward the Carolina’s where it made landfall with 10-foot storm tides as a category two hurricane near Cape Fear on September 16. The Tropical Prediction Center reports maximum intensity winds of 135 knots (155 miles per hour) on September 13th when Floyd was located in the Atlantic east of the Bahamas.
