Discussion Memo for Clam Bay Committee Meeting
June 16, 2025
This memo is intended to foster discussion whether and to what extent we can "do better" to
protect our beaches from the ravages of tidal erosion, storm surge, wave action, and other
natural phenomena. It does not represent any particular view or recommendation; it is merely
an attempt to catalog the options we and others have used. We can discuss which, if any, we
would consider and possibly suggest for further study.
There are several strategies to protect beaches. Coastal communities world-wide employ one or
more methods. Each method has its advantages and drawbacks, and the best approach
depends on local conditions, environmental impact, cost and funding issues.
Beach Nourishment is the process of adding sand or sediment to eroding beaches to
restore their natural state. It is considered a "soft armoring" technique that works with the
environment rather than against it. This is the principal method used by the communities of
southwest Florida, including Pelican Bay. A public commentator at the June 10 County
Commissioners meeting suggested that the County should consider more frequent nourishment
than the current five-year cycle, and extending the template to create broader beaches (our
template is essentially 85 feet from the coastal control line). Should we seek to support these
initiatives? Are there other changes to the current beach renourishment program that would
be cost effective? We have previously discussed using off shore sand as distinct from the
lighter "specification" sand that must be trucked from off -site, at least to provide a stronger
base over which we would use specification sand. We have been advised that there is no near-
by approved source of off -shore sand and that the cost of mobilizing the necessary dredge
equipment itself can run into the millions of dollars. Nonetheless, should we be seeking
changes to the current beach nourishment program.
Dune Restoration means restoring and strengthening dunes with vegetation or artificial
barriers to absorb storm surges and prevent sand loss. This is the second "natural" means we
have to protect our beaches, and also provide storm surge and flood protection. Currently we
seek to use sand available to us from the displacement of last season's hurricanes to build up
the dunes to a height of seven feet (if possible) and to plant with appropriate vegetation.
Should we be looking at a different design criterion, especially around the beach facilities
(Marker 36 and South Beach)? What are the advantages, limitations, and cost implications of
such a strategy and how effective are they in the event of an Ian -like event? Naples Botanical
Garden, in collaboration with Florida Gulf Coast University, is studying beach dunes and
developing restoration strategies using native plants. Our consultants generally recommend the
mix of plants that are most suitable to our environment.
Agenda Item #6
Page 2 of 2
Living Shorelines means using natural elements like mangroves, marshes and oyster reefs
to stabilize coastal areas while maintaining ecological balance. Pelican Bay is the community
that has the unique opportunity and responsibility to use our mangroves and tidal uplands to
protect our community. While the mangroves do not directly protect our beaches, they do
absorb energy and storm surge thus minimizing the effects on the beaches themselves. We
have explored creating oyster reefs, but our water quality does not yet support that initiative.
We can and should be constantly open to improved methods of maintaining and enhancing our
mangroves. We are not alone in relying on the living shoreline approach. Cities like Charleston
and Tampa use the living shoreline approach to enhance coastal resilience
Engineered Alternatives. Many communities use man-made engineered structures to
protect their beaches. We, in Pelican Bay and throughout Collier County, have made it clear to
the Corps of Engineers and others coastal players that we much prefer "natural" solutions.
Nonetheless, they are included here for completeness, and to at least open the discussion to
whether there is any appetite in the community for any of these in any location.
• Seawalls and Bulkheads: These hard structures act as barriers to prevent waves from
eroding the shoreline. However, they can sometimes accelerate erosion in adjacent
areas. The City of Naples uses these and is replacing and constructing seawalls at
multiple beach ends to protect against erosion and storm surges. These seawalls include
buried toe -scour rock revetments to enhance stability. These structures are common in
places like Miami and New York. Of course, Pelican Bay beaches are part of the NRPA
and seawalls and bulkheads are antithetical to our natural environment.
• Groynes and Jetties are man-made structures usually of stone or concrete that extend
perpendicular to the shore into the water to trap sand and slow down erosion by
interrupting water currents. They, too, tend to accelerate erosion on the "far" side of
structures. They have been used for centuries, dating back to Ancient Egypt.
• Breakwaters: Offshore barriers reduce wave energy before it reaches the shore,
minimizing erosion. Los Angeles uses offshore breakwaters to reduce wave energy and
prevent sand loss. We have naturally occurring sand bars which grow and shrink in
response to tidal action, winds, and storm events. Doubtful that we would ever try
construct a breakwater, but it is included here for completeness of discussion.
