The Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems has completed an update of the Strategic Beach Management Plan. The Draft Strategic Beach Management Plan addresses strategies to manage the critically eroded beaches of the state. The plan divides the state into the Panhandle, Big Bend, Southwest, Northeast Atlantic, Central Atlantic, Southeast Atlantic, and the Keys regions. Three workshops are planned. A meeting in Destin is planned to present the Panhandle and Big Bend regions. A meeting in Sarasota is planned to present the Southwest region. A meeting in Viera (Brevard County) is planned to present the Northeast Atlantic, Central Atlantic, Southeast Atlantic and the Keys regions. The purpose of the meetings is to present the contents of the Draft Strategic Beach Management Plan to local sponsors and interested residents. A copy of the Draft Strategic Beach Management Plan to be used during the workshops may be found at http://dep.state.fl.us/beaches/.
