RESOLUTION ON STATE PLAN FOR
PROTECTION OF FLORIDA ZAST COAST BEACHE
BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the Village of Tequesta, Palm
Beach County, Florida, that this body heartily supports and approves a
plan for restoration and protection of the beaches of Florida's eleven
Atlantic Coast counties. The plan would call for a team attack and solu-
tion of the problem through the Florida Department of Conservation and
the U. S. Corps of Engineers, to be financed by the Florida Inland Navi-
gation District. The point of attack will be rebuilding of the various
inlets by proper protection of the navigation channels and by sand trans-
fer.
Experience in erosion control has proved that in any stretch
• of beach no one individual can successfully combat erosion, and that it
must be a unanimous conununity effort. So in considering Florida's Eastern
Coast Line, no one city or county alone can control erosion, but the entire
coast line must be protected.
Considering the life or death relationship of the ocean beaches
to Florida's economic and human welfare, the Councilmen of the Village
of Tequesta, Palm Beach County, Florida, not only approve a comprehensive
plan, but urge its passage by the Legislature to permit the raising of
the funds immediately necessary for this vital work. We feel that the
taxation proposed will return many times its cost in salvaging and pro-
tecting the enormous assets of our Atlantic Coast beaches.
