| December 2007 Florida Specifier "Beach communities face challenge of long term sources for beach nourishment" "Healthy beaches are a valuable natural resource for the state of Florida and an issue of ongoing concern for coastal communities. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems has identified 387 miles of Florida’s 825 miles of shoreline as critically eroded, with 192 miles currently under some form of active management. "For these managed shorelines, beach nourishment or sand placement is a common practice used to address the impacts of beach erosion. Typically this requires the use of dredge equipment to excavate large volumes of offshore sand for use as beach material. Current trends in sand supply however, have the potential to significantly curtail this well established practice..." |

In some cities where people have migrated out to the suburbs, city centre waterfronts have become under-utilised zones of decrepit warehouses and factories. The trend to revitalise such waterfronts, often spearheaded by property developers, has led to the emergence of the marina village. "To be successful, however, a marina village must be carefully planned and..." |
