Description

Fort Pierce City Marina was hit by a devastating hurricane in 2004, requiring a complete marina rebuild.

To prevent such an occurrence again, 13 barrier islands were erected to provide critical storm protection to the marina. The marina is also protected by a floating wave attenuator. The islands provide a sanctuary to juvenile fish. Mangroves were planted around the islands to attract birds, oyster larvae, fish and other marine life.
