Mission
Martin County Coastal Management's mission is to maintain inlet navigation, provide shoreline storm protection and maintain the County's coastal and estuarine habitat. This is accomplished by developing and managing projects through reef enhancement and protection, beach management, inlet management and waterway maintenance programs along Martin County’s 22 miles of the Atlantic coastline, including Jensen Beach, Stuart Beach, Sailfish Point, St. Lucie Inlet State Preserve, Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge and the Town of Jupiter Island (Hobe Sound Beach).
Innovative and progressive in their approach to coastal management, staff carry out quality projects that serve resident and visiting marine interests and also play a vital role in support of fish and coral populations and in overall water quality improvement.
