Coastwide Beach and Dune Ecosystem Restoration, Hancock County, MS

Active

Contract Opportunity

The project entails shoreline improvements along approximately 5 miles of the mainland coast in Hancock County, Mississippi. As authorized, the work includes construction of a 150-foot-wide beach berm designed to improve coastal re�silience and mitigate storm-related im�pacts. The berm will tie into either the ele�vation of the adjacent sidewalk along the existing seawall or the surrounding ground surface, whichever is lower, and will extend approximately 150 feet seaward from the seawall. To complete the berm construc�tion, an estimated 300,000 cubic yards of sand will be sourced from an upland loca�tion, trucked in, and placed along the project area.
