Client Name: Monroe County
Client Contact Person: Wes Scott, PE, Senior Project Manager
Project Name: Duck Key Breakwater Restoration
Location: Duck Key, Monroe County.
Project Duration: 3 years

Project Summary

SFRC&D completed the Duck Key Breakwater Reconstruction project at Hawk’s Key Resort and Marina in the Florida Keys.  This was a 3 million dollar project which was completed in June 30, 2001.  The project was authorized by USDA in March 1999, and SFRC&D was designated as the overall Project Manager.  The breakwater, which was destroyed by Hurricane Irene, was rebuilt to protect the homes, boats and businesses on the island from strong waves during storms.  SFRC&D also took the necessary precautions to protect the coral and sea grass near the breakwater.  The Duck Key project is seen by most residents as highly successful especially considering the many difficult environmental factors involved in the job.
