Project Description
!!!The project consists of the restoration and maintenance of approximately 4.6 miles of critically eroded shoreline on the northern portion of Estero Island, from Matanzas Pass at the north end of the island (Bowditch Point Regional Park - 400 feet north of DEP reference monument R-175) to approximately R-195, or Sterling Avenue. This segment is the Federal project described in the August 1999 Corps of Engineers report titled "Lee County, Florida Shore Protection Project, General Reevaluation Report."
The northern Estero Island reach includes beach restoration of 1,010,000 cubic yards in conjunction with a terminal groin in Bowditch Point Park, south of Matanzas Pass Federal channel boundary. The groin will be 240 feet long and situated perpendicular to the shoreline with 150 feet seaward of the 2000 MHW shoreline. The shoreline from R-176 through R-200, inclusive, has been designated as critically eroded by FDEP.
