  • The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) completed the contract modification for the original project design, resulting in two islands with accompanying oyster reefs. 
  • One island with oyster reefs located to the north and another island with oyster reefs to the south, leaving the middle portion between the islands unaffected.  
  • The contractor working on the project continues to deliver and stockpile sand concurrently at the north and south island locations. 
  • Wavebreak and oyster reef construction on the north portion of the project will be commencing soon.
  • Questions, please contact the Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management at 561-233-2451. ​
