Coastwide Beach and Dune Ecosystem Restoration, Hancock County, MS

The project involves shoreline improvements along approximately 5 miles of the mainland coast in Hancock County, Mississippi. The work includes construction of a 150-foot-wide beach berm designed to improve coastal resilience and mitigate storm-related impacts. The berm will be constructed using an estimated 300,000 cubic yards of sand sourced from an upland location. • The project aims to improve coastal resilience and mitigate storm-related impacts. • The beach berm will be 150 feet wide and extend approximately 150 feet seaward from the seawall. • The project requires the placement of 300,000 cubic yards of sand along the project area. • The berm will tie into either the elevation of the adjacent sidewalk along the existing seawall or the surrounding ground surface, whichever is lower.
