North Brevard shore protection renourishment project is set to begin in late March, according to the Army Corps Jacksonville District.
Beach re-nourishment of the North Reach section of the Brevard County Shore Protection Project will start on or about March 20, announced the Army Corps.
The effort will place about 465,000 cubic yards of sand on the southern four miles of the 9.8-mile long North Reach shoreline, from Patrick Space Force Base to North 2nd Street in Cocoa Beach under a $10.6 million contract awarded in September 2020.
The contract for the Brevard County North Reach was awarded to Great Lakes Dredge & Dock. The project consists of dredging beach compatible sand from Canaveral Shoals and placing it on eroded areas of the beach.
Cocoa Beach the Space Coast’s premier tourism spot soon will see new sands, dredged up and pumped in from shoals several miles offshore of Cape Canaveral.
