| Abstract/Contents: | "In Broward County (Ft. Lauderdale), Florida, the beaches and surrounding coastal environment are of great economic and environmental importance. Coastal erosion is a very serious problem. To address beach erosion, the Broward Soil and Water Conservation District (BSWCD) in conjunction with the United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Services (USDA-SCS) developed new innovative Best Management Practices (BMPs) relating to beach erosion. These new BMPs have enabled the BSWCD and USDA-SCS to grow coastal plants at an accelerated rate. Under this program, a coastal revegetation project was created, whereas in 5 months the sea oats grew from liners (seedlings) to 1.52 meters ( 5 feet) and also produced seed heads. This type of growth would normally take 4 to 5 years. Over 1,000 volunteers, from elementary school to senior citizens, helped install the 'Hallandale Beach Xeriscape Revegetation and Recycling Project' (HBXRRP). The HBXRRP cost $158,000. In less than a year it was valued at approximately $5,000,000. HBXRRP is a prime demonstration project of the latest technology in coastal erosion control." |
