Marine Resources

Broward County has 24 miles of beautiful beaches. In 2005-2006, 6.8 miles underwent renourishment to widen the beaches that had been eroded by storms and wave action.  
  The natural and artificial reefs of Broward County make the marine environment a mecca for scuba divers.
Mooring buoys have been installed at N locations along Broward's reef tract to allow boaters to enjoy the marine environment without damaging the reefs by anchoring.  
  During the winter months, Broward can have a manatee population numbering the 100s.
Well over 1500 sea turtles nest on Broward's beaches during the spring and summer months.
