Taylor Engineering has recommended, and JNCA is permitting the installation of three natural, limestone breakwaters between the navigational channel and the west side of the three remaining mangrove islands. They will mitigate the wave action, stabilize the sediment, and create conditions in which the mangroves and seagrasses will thrive, while not interfering with the navigational channel and/or recreational activities.

Taylor Engineering has designed and installed similar projects in our immediate area with great success.
