Josiah Cephas Weaver Park Shoreline Improvements (Living Shoreline)

Description

Preliminary designs for a living shoreline — riprap revetment, mangroves, oyster structures, and an ADA kayak launch — to fix erosion at Weaver Park. A seawall isn't allowed under county code, so this is the path; permitting with the Army Corps and FDEP is already underway.

Impact summary

Stabilizes 728 linear feet of eroding shoreline for 50+ years, adds water access, and keeps Weaver Park usable — but costs and viewshed concerns remain open questions.

COMMISSION WORKSHOP - Jul 7, 2026

A three-phase living shoreline design — riprap revetment, mangroves and oyster structures, and an ADA kayak launch — to stop erosion at Weaver Park. The commission liked the concept and told staff to keep permitting and grant-hunting, with no funding action before November 3.

Weaver Park shoreline erosion and living shoreline project

Weaver Park's shoreline is eroding and Pinellas County won't permit a seawall there, so staff are designing a living shoreline — riprap, mangroves, oyster structures — plus an ADA kayak launch. The design avoids all surveyed seagrass. Cost depends on phasing, and no construction money moves before the November referendum.
