Boca Raton has received a “Best Restored Beach Award” from the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association for its collaboration with Deerfield Beach and Hillsboro Beach to renourish beaches in the three municipalities.
By working together, the three municipalities saved money on renourishment projects that they conducted independently in the past. The municipalities used about 370,000 cubic yards of sand dredged from the Boca Raton Inlet.
The ASBPA’s annual award honors restoration projects around the U.S. that improve a shoreline’s resiliency and mitigate damage and flooding from severe storms.
