Virginia Key Beach Erosion Control Project, Second Periodic Nourishment and Groins
The project proposes hydraulic excavation and placement of 100,000 cubic yards of sand on 1.3 miles of the ocean shore of Virginia Key to provide 70 feet of level beach berm at elevation 6 feet mean low water, and construction of one impermeable and 12 permeable groins. Material for beach nourishment will come from the Miami Harbor deepening project. Environmental impacts include prevention of beach erosion. Beach fill sites will cause destruction of marine invertebrates and vegetation, and water quality will be degraded.
