Brevard County Beach Management Program

The Brevard County Beach Management Program  administers several beach restoration projects that place beach quality sand and native dune vegtation along the Atlantic shoreline to protect upland property and maintain healthy beaches to be enjoyed by residents, tourists and wildlife.

Because healthy beaches are essential to Brevard’s tourism based economy, the Tourist Development Council has dedicated a portion of the bed tax (collected from hotels & motels) to fund the local cost share of most County beach management projects.  In addition to traditional beach projects, Brevard County continues to seek innovative technologies which may improve the function or cost effectiveness of future beach restoration projects.
