Escambia County considers public involvement a key component of this project and is seeking public input about the project design. Public comments received as a result of this survey will be used by the design team to guide the development of the overall conceptual design.

The project will include three separate areas around Naval Air Station Pensacola: one adjacent to White Island in northwestern Pensacola Bay, and the other two on the eastern and southern shores of Pensacola Naval Air Station. The goal of the project is to create 24,800 linear feet of rock and oyster reef breakwater and to create 205 acres of marsh and submerged aquatic vegetation habitat at these three sites.
Living shorelines address erosion by providing long-term protection, reducing wave energy and restoring vegetated shoreline habitats through strategic placement of plants, rock and oyster reefs. Living shorelines also stabilize sediment, improve water quality, and enhance habitats for oysters, fish, shrimp, crabs, birds, sea turtles and other estuarine species.
