PROJECT NARRATIVE <br />1. Description of Proposed Project: <br />Installation of a permanent breakwater in front of <br />established mangroves on the shoreline west of Jungle <br />Trail and planting of Spartina grasses in areas where <br />mangroves have eroded and washed out. <br />2. Statement of the Applicants Justification for the <br />Construction of the Proposed Project: <br />Increasing boat traffic and the narrow channel in this <br />section of the ICWW creates a tremendous amount of wave <br />energy which has destabilized the shoreline and roadway <br />embankment. Mangroves that have been established for <br />years are being undermined and washed out. The Marine <br />Advisory/Narrows Watershed Action Committee, the Indian <br />River County Historical Society and the Indian River <br />Board of County Commissioners are committed to resolving <br />this problem as quickly as possible. <br />3. Reasoning Why FIND Should Support this Project: <br />It is felt that FIND should support this project <br />because of its relevance to public navigation, public <br />recreation and environmental preservation. <br />4. Statement of the Direct Relationship of the Project to the <br />Waterway: <br />The erosion problem on the shoreline west of Jungle <br />Trail is attributed to increasing boat traffic in the <br />Intracoastal Waterway (ICWW). This shoreline lies <br />directly east of and runs parallel to the ICWW. <br />5. Statement of the Direct Relationship of the Project to the <br />Maintenance of the Waterways: <br />Stabilizing the shoreline will prevent vegetation and <br />sediment from eroding and washing into the ICWW. <br />Mangroves could pose a navigation hazard if they wash <br />into the channel and decreasing depths in the channel <br />from sedimentation could eventually create a need for <br />maintenance dredging. <br />6. Statement of the Projects Benefit to Public Navigation in <br />the District Waterways: <br />Stabilizing the shoreline will allow boat traffic to <br />safely use the ICWW for public navigation without <br />causing environmental damage. <br />7. Statement of Potential Public Usage of the Project: <br />The Indian River County Historical Society has promoted <br />Jungle Trail as a historic drive and scenic road. <br />
