Rob Robbins' presentation before the City Commission last night (12/2) on shoreline projects

Rob Robbins, Director of Palm Beach County's Environmental Resource Management department gave a presentation to the City Commission on the status of current and future projects along the western shoreline of the Lake Worth Lagoon. The big change discussed was the swapping out of mangroves for spartina grass, especially near the golf course. His presentation will also appear in a video that includes all the various presentation items on last night's agenda. That video montage is currently being prepared. I thought that this was important enough to pull out of that batch.

This is a rendering of one of the additions soon to take place south of the bridge along the east side of Bryant Park. It will be about 4 feet below the cap of the seawall. The Spartina grass will be wet during periods of high tide. Mr. Robbins talks about the details in his presentation.

This is a series of cross-sections of the structure that will make this possible. It is first being used here.

The county is also going to create additional boat slips. The new ones will be near the boat launch. This area is used more than the same sort of docks that are north of the bridge, part of the Snook Islands area.
