is a live instructional webinar, to be held March 21 at 2:00 pm EDT. The session will provide attendees with knowledge on the use of geotextile containers and polymeric marine mattresses for island breakwater creation. On-site project experience from the City of Ft. Pierce Marina in Florida will be shared. The project features a permanent wave barrier, configured as a carefully sculpted but naturally appearing artificial island breakwater.

The project solution met FEMA-mandated design requirements for protection from 100-year storm events.
