Hutchinson Island Shore Protection Project wins ASBPA Best Restored Beaches
The Hutchinson Island Shore Protection Project named a recipient of the prestigious 2026 Best Restored Beach Award by the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA), recognizing the project as one of the nation’s most successful coastal restoration efforts.
Originally constructed in 1995, the Hutchinson Island Shore Protection Project was created to stabilize a critically eroded section of coastline. Over the past three decades, ongoing monitoring and adaptive management strategies have produced significant environmental benefits, including strengthened dune systems, a wider and more resilient beach, and enhanced nesting habitat for sea turtles.
Today, the project serves as a national model for data-driven coastal management, demonstrating how strategic restoration efforts can successfully preserve dynamic beach ecosystems while delivering lasting environmental, recreational, and community benefits.
