Rock Harbor Breakwater Repair and Seaweed Barrier System Water Quality Improvement Project

The purpose of the project is to repair the breakwater and add the air curtain and seaweed prevention system. During Hurricane Irma, the storm surge toppled the boulders over the breakwater, which prior to the storm was providing a significant level of resiliency and storm surge protection to the homes. With the breakwater structure now severely damaged, this low-lying subdivision is subject to frequent and persistent flooding due to storms, astronomical high tides, and sea level rise. The repair activities are to be completed to return the breakwater structure to its previous condition prior to Hurricane Irma. In addition, the breakwater provided a barrier to the heavy loading of floating seaweed coming in from the ocean during the extreme heat of the summer that now clogs the canals, causing severe water quality problems, respiratory and health issues and environmental disaster. Repairing the breakwater and adding the air curtain and seaweed prevention system will help maintain better water quality in the canal systems near the breakwater, helping residents avoid respiratory distress and other health problems.
