BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — Ahead of Tropical Storm Isaias, Brevard County’s coastline is bracing for strong winds and surf. Officials explained what the county is doing to be ready.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is funding the $35 million beach restoration project. As Mike McGarry from Brevard County Natural Resources Management Office Watershed Management Program explained, the coastline is protected.

Most beach re-nourishment projects were completed in the county earlier this year, but Indialantic's beach re-nourishment project is set to begin at the end of November after hurricane and sea turtle nesting season.

“Brevard in the last year has done maintenance on most of our shoreline, and that means the beaches are in place. They are strong and ready to take a blow if they need to,” McGarry said. “(They) prevent damage to the community, but they also protect our beach habitat by putting sand in the system. We maintain healthy beaches, which are enjoyed by tourists, locals, and sea turtles.”

Beachgoer Crystal Cooper is feeling lucky — the beach in front of her Cocoa Beach apartment was re-nourished ahead of hurricane season.

“I’m comfortable with this one. It's not strong enough to be concerned about. We stayed here the last storm it was a little scary, the water came where the dune line was with a 6-feet surge,” Cooper said. “We are pretty protected here, so that makes me feel a little more comfortable, but there’s always concern the water can get up to our property line”

According to county officials, the project is 100 percent federally funded. Once Indialantic project starts it should be completed in several weeks.
