Indian River County manages the beaches and shoreline based on a strategic management plan, updated with current engineering studies and recommendations. The Beach Preservation Plan (BPP) was first developed in 1988 to evaluate and maintain the resources along the coastline under the County’s Coastal Restoration Program. The BPP undergoes periodic updates. The purpose of the 2019 update is to support the County in managing its beaches, assess the impact of recent storm events, evaluate current vulnerability to future storm events, and document the overall performance of the management program from 2013 to 2019.
