Martin County was recently awarded a 2022 Best Restored Shores Award from the American Shore & Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA) for Phase 1 of the Twin Rivers Park Shoreline Protection and Enhancement project.
Twin Rivers Park is located on the St. Lucie River and the Intracoastal Waterway. Faced with an eroding shoreline, Martin County worked with Applied Technology and Management to stabilize the shore and create salt marsh and mangrove habitat. What was once an eroding shoreline is now a vibrant habitat flourishing along a natural shoreline. Twin Rivers Park is slated for a Phase 2 project to further strengthen natural infrastructure against impacts from erosion and sea level rise.
