USACE conducts planning workshop, public discussions of Key Biscayne CSRM study

A U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Jacksonville District, planning team conducted site visits, a planning workshop and two public meetings to present and discuss its Key Biscayne Coastal Storm Risk Management (CSRM) Feasibility Study for residents Jan 23-25, 2024.
Public meetings were held Jan. 24 and 25 at the Key Biscayne Community Center, with a formal presentation followed by an open question and answer discussion with village residents and community leaders.
The feasibility study objectives include developing proposals to reduce flooding caused by coastal storms, extreme high tides and future projected sea level rise in the study area; and an exploration of opportunities to increase community resiliency from future coastal storms.
The study team anticipates issues to be addressed will include community concerns for aesthetics, cultural resources, recreation, socioeconomic impacts, fish-and-wildlife resources, threatened and endangered species, essential fish habitat and water quality.
