🏆 BEST RESTORED BEACH AWARD 🌴🌊
The Hutchinson Island Shore Protection Project has been recognized by the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association as one of the nation’s Best Restored Beaches!

Coastal Program Manager Jessica Garland traveled to Atlantic City this month to share the project’s renourishment efforts alongside Taylor Engineering and proudly brought the prestigious award home to Martin County!

Originally constructed in 1995 in partnership with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the project has helped stabilize critically eroded shoreline for decades. Through ongoing monitoring and adaptive management, it continues to strengthen dunes, widen the beach and enhance coastal habitats, including vital nesting areas for sea turtles.

This national recognition highlights the lasting impact of coastal restoration efforts in protecting our shoreline, supporting wildlife and preserving Martin County’s beautiful beaches for generations to come.

Always wear an engine cutoff device and a life jacket. If you capsize, stay with your boat, unless the shore is very close. The lake’s shore may look easy to reach, but often cold water, waves, current, exhaustion, or injury can make the swim deadly.
