Seawall Habitat Enhancement Ongoing. This project consists of the development, demonstration, and evaluation of methods for enhancing habitat value and productivity of seawalls in canal communities by installing structures that will provide suitable nursery habitat for valued fishery species. The project will also seek to develop widespread public interest in enhancing seawall environments. Four types of habitat modules were constructed and are being tested in a canal community. Monitoring was completed in Fall 1993.
Preliminary results show significant use of the modules by fish and other marine life.
Sixth-Street Canal Restoration and Shoreline Alternatives Ongoing. This project will restore and increase shoreline habitat in a canal area and provide natural filtration of stormwater. The project also offers opportunities for public education through an interpretive signage program. Construction began in Spring 1993. Quick Point Preserve Restoration Ongoing.
