Commissioner Ann Taylor, District 5, attended a public information meeting on March 31, 2025, hosted by the Coastal Management Department in Vilano Beach to discuss the inlet shoreline of Porpoise Point
The northern shoreline of the St Augustine Inlet at Porpoise Point has been experiencing unpredictable, episodic erosion, causing the exposure of residential building foundations and underground public utilities, flooding the right-of-way, and reducing or eliminating recreational space. The current phase of this project will support the design, engineering, and permitting necessary to develop a solution that reduces coastal storm damage to this area from future storm events and mitigates erosion. The preliminary design will include constructing a hard armor structure to help trap the sand on the shoreline and prevent further erosion.
