Walton County Beach Meet in SandDestin
I attended the walton County Beach Restoration this evening with about 40 other folks.
I saw a few guys I know from Old Florida Beach.
Cindy Meadows and brad Pickel were there as was Mike Trudnak with Taylor Engineering.
They are working on a beach and or dune restoration project for our area but it could take a few more seasons to get going and even the large scale dune restoration project would only reach a height of 16 feet.
Even though the Critical erosion in Blue Mountain beach is well to the east of us, our area
would be included under the current proposed plan because otherwise it would leave a "GAP"
which could make the project less effective.
It is very expensive to protect the beach to the 50 year storm event level.
Everything about living on the Beach is expensive.
