Coastal Programs Overview
Coastal Monitoring Program Atlantic Ocean Shoreline Surveys Aerial Photography Marine Turtle Monitoring Several Monitoring Gages (i.e. wave gage)
Habitat Management Program Sirotkin Reef Stuart Donaldson Reef Ernst Reef Atlantic Ocean Offshore Artificial Reefs (State and Federal Waters) for Habitat and Recreation Nearshore Mitigation Reefs to offset Impacts from Beach Renourishment Maintaining the Heath of the Natural Reefs Nearshore and Offshore St Lucie Estuary Oyster Reef Restoration to Improve Water Quality
Beach Restoration Program Hutchinson Island Stuart Bathtub Beach Park Sailfish Point St. Lucie Inlet State Park Atlantic Ocean Hobe Sound National Refuge Jupiter Island Two Long-term Beach Renourishment Projects (Federal and City) Placements from Inlet and Waterway Dredging Projects (Regional and County) Smaller Projects when Needed (County and Community)
Inlet Management Program Stuart St. Lucie Inlet Atlantic Ocean Sediment basin dredging and sand bypass to the south beaches Inlet maintenance (channel, jetties, breakwaters) St Lucie Inlet Federal Channel Maintenance (Local Sponsor)
Waterways Management & Anchoring & Mooring Programs Stuart St. Lucie Inlet Okeechobee Waterway Atlantic Ocean Intracoastal Waterway Smaller Dredging Projects (i.e. access channels) ICWW and OWW (County is local sponsor managed by FIND) Mooring Areas and Fields (i.e. Manatee Pocket, City of Stuart)
Coastal Geodatabase Project Overview
Project Need
Project Goals Facilitate Coastal Engineering Project Planning and Management Facilitate the Management of Permit and Grant Monitoring Requirements and Compliance
Project Objectives Consolidate the County s Coastal Engineering Project s Information Provide Planners and Managers with Easy Access to Historical and Current Project Information Permit and Grant Tracking System
Data Consolidation How much and what types of coastal information does the County need for project management and planning?
Permitting / Grants Baseline / Permit Application Pre-Construction Construction 1-3 Years Post-Construction Monitoring Every 2 Year Monitoring
Types of Coastal Data Regulatory Engineering Monitoring Surveys Topo and Bathymetric Natural Resources Sediment and Water
How to Organize it? By Project By Data Type By Permit or Grant By Year In the Geodatabase In the Map Documents
FAQs & PRIs Where, when and who last surveyed? What type of surveys? What types of information for? Who is responsible for Which communities or species? Where is the data for?

Project Summary Over 20 years coastal data in GIS from 5 of its 6 coastal programs County has a map document for each project and a framework for similar projects Updates from ongoing projects occur once or twice a year as new data becomes available. Desktop map documents and web applications that give them access to their historical and current project data, and allow them to plan future projects.
Project Summary Requests of information, agency collaboration Established the foundation for a permit tracking system
