Seawall Inspection Melbourne

Seawall inspection in Melbourne keeps a wall clear of the city rule that marine facilities may not become dilapidated or unsafe (zoning code Sec. 2(F), Appendix B(2)(l)).

The Eau Gallie River

About 630,000 cubic yards of muck came out of the Eau Gallie River in a dredge that finished in 2021, funded with $20 million from the state (SJRWMD). Deeper water changes how the toe of a nearby wall behaves.

Why it matters

After the inspection

Repairs go to the City of Melbourne building department, with SJRWMD, Army Corps and FDEP approval or exemption first.

On the Indian River Lagoon, the shoreline sits in the Malabar to Vero Beach aquatic preserve, where state review is stricter.
