Emergency protective work began on September 4. So far, 375 sandbags have been installed at Seascape Villas and 425 at Breach Inlet, with 250 more scheduled for Beachwood East during the week of October 13. An additional $9,600 in scraping work was approved to take place during the low tides during the nor'easter.
On the south end, USACE (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) work is temporarily paused to address safety concerns. Work is expected to resume this week.
USACE has also approved a new contract for a separate dredge operation to place 260,000 cubic yards of sand from the Intracoastal Waterway onto the beach between 5th and 7th Avenues. This project is expected to begin in January 2026 and last approximately two months, with a preconstruction meeting scheduled for November 3.
Permitting for the larger offshore renourishment projects was finalized and submitted in September.
