Pelican Bay Clam Bay Mangrove Restoration

The Pelican Bay Clam Bay Mangrove Restoration project aims to restore and enhance coastal vegetation along the Pelican Bay/Clam Bay shoreline. The project involves installing native coastal vegetation, including mangroves and associated canopy species, to improve shoreline stability, habitat quality, and long-term resilience of the coastal dune system. The project requires the installation of approximately 4,766 plants, including red mangrove, white mangrove, black mangrove, and green/silver buttonwood. The contractor must have demonstrated experience in mangrove restoration, coastal revegetation, wetland rehabilitation, or similar nature-based shoreline projects. Key aspects of the project include: * Installation of native coastal vegetation to enhance coastal habitat value and improve shoreline resilience * Furnishing and installing nursery-grown plants, including red mangrove, white mangrove, black mangrove, and green/silver buttonwood * Planting density and total quantity based on an approximate area of 305,000 square feet at an average spacing of 8 feet by 8 feet * Site preparation, including removal of debris and incompatible materials, and avoidance of disturbance to existing desirable vegetation and shoreline features * Protection of existing resources and access, including sea turtle nesting season coordination
