The students of Gulf Breeze High School have built a nursery to sustain the dune and wetland plants for the Deadman’s Island Restoration Project. Pictures will be posted in a few weeks!! A special Thanks to GBHS Teachers leading this project, Marrietta Stevenson and Grace French. Great Job!
After 15 years of waiting, The City of Gulf Breeze has a letter to Intent to Permit on the breakwater structures to protect the eroding shoreline of Deadman’s Island. If all homeowners agree to this project, we may be able start in June depending on the issuance of the permit. Send in your support!
There is no public access for the general public to Deadman’s Island. Permitters are allowed through designated area by permission from the homeowners only. Please do not access private property.
Welcome to the Deadman’s Island restoration blog/website.
In recent years this historically significant spit of land that was established as a natural preserve has experienced increasingly rapid erosion along its northern shore. This site is intended to be a repository of information for stakeholders involved and interested in the process of halting, and perhaps reversing this trend.
Dear Homeowners:
Your support and opinions are needed for the success of this community based restoration project. We would like a brief letter of support from all the residents in the DeadMan’s Island Area. Please email your informal letter to Hreed@ecoconsultingservices.com
Please include your Name and Address, how long you have lived in the area and whether you are in support of this project. You may include any comments you desire. In addition, it would be most helpful to share your story of how you remember the fishing, the vegetation, the habitat of the area that is currently eroding.
Further information of this project can be viewed on the above buttons (Permit Info) and (Powerpoint).
