Expand List item 37260Collapse List item 37260  How will sea turtles and migratory shorebirds be protected during construction?

The contractor in conjunction with Miami-Dade County will conduct migratory shorebird and sea turtle monitoring daily, and relocate sea turtle nests if necessary. If there are any sea turtle nests in the construction area, they will be monitored and protected until the hatchlings have emerged from the nest. After daily environmental species monitoring and sea turtle nest relocations have been completed and the area has been cleared for construction, beach work will commence. However, construction operations in the area will cease if sea turtles are present at any time.

Safety is our priority. The beach access at 96th Street will be monitored by qualified safety personnel. Pedestrian and emergency vehicles traffic will be directed by flaggers during construction. Because of the extensive construction activities for the next months, motorists, cyclists, pedestrians, and beach goers are asked to use caution along these areas of Bal Harbour.
