At this time there an active project with 21 Sites where tidal flood barriers are being constructed or improved, these are not all of the city owned tidal flood barriers.

Implement the recommendations resulting from the Broward County/ US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) study expected to be completed in 2018. Prioritize the use of living shorelines, but incorporate sea walls where necessary. City owned sea walls will be improved or built according to City sea wall height requirements. Incentives and assistance may be offered to residents to encourage proper sea wall height and construction.
