The Apalachee Regional Planning Council
will hold a public workshop in Eastpoint today to discuss
implementing a living shoreline project along portions of the
coastline between Carrabelle Beach and Eastpoint.
That stretch of coastline suffers
severe erosion during strong storms and hurricanes.
Living shorelines use rock and shell
breakwaters along with natural vegetation to protect the shoreline
from erosion – its considered a natural alternative to hardened
shorelines like seawalls.
The project is being headed up by
the Apalachee Regional Planning Council.
Currently the Apalachee Regional
Planning is holding public outreach to gather input from the
community regarding locations along Highway 98 that might benefit
most from the implementation of a natural shoreline.
Today's meeting will be held at 6
o'clock at the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve
Nature Center at 108 Island Drive in Eastpoint.
If you can't make it today there will
be another workshop on February 4th.
