City conducting physical monitoring of coastal erosion, accretion
The city of Sanibel reported that it began surveying the beaches to monitor coastal erosion and accretion on Sept. 14 and the work will take approximately three weeks to complete.
The work will not interfere with access or usage of any of the beaches.
This year’s monitoring project was awarded to Humiston & Moore Engineers. It is half funded by the Lee County Tourist Development Council, with the other half being funded by beach parking fees.
The project is part of a continuing effort to collect and analyze beach profile data.
