Coastal Erosion
• Rapid increase in rate of erosion• Previous failure in 2008• Infrastructure & recreational uses
threatened, degraded
• Approached by City of Cedar Key• Preliminary meeting FCMP proposal FCMP grant awarded Hired NRLI Project Team
• Stakeholder Visioning Workshop• Stakeholder Design Workshops
Stakeholder ProcessMix of stakeholders – mix of recreational uses, mix of property vs. non-property owners, City vs. County property/needs
Visioning Workshop Objectives1. Discuss erosion history in the area and preferences for
shoreline uses2. Learn more about and compared various options for
erosion control3. Narrow down a range of acceptable project types that
promise to preserve the shoreline at G-street and Airport road locations according to preferred uses
Design Workshop Objective4. Discuss and evaluate specific project designs and build
consensus around one preferred option
1: Discuss Erosion History• Technique: Icebreaker – Go-around & Sticky Arrows on Map
• Technique: Participatory Timeline with Aerial Imagery• WHY?• Give standing to long-time residents & property owners• Give context to newer residents
• Evaluation: 4.45 of 5 overall rating
2: Understand Erosion Control Options
• Technique: Golf Cart Field Trip with Informational Handouts• WHY?• Make options tangible and relatable• Opportunities for Q&A with expert in informal setting
• Evaluation: 4.53 of 5 overall rating, consistently rated #1 most valued/instructional part by attendees
3: Narrow Down List of Project Types
• Technique: Field Trip Debrief – Plenary and in Pairs• WHY?• Collect narrative information about why certain

Outcomes
Next Steps• Site visits and data collection by Engineer• 3 candidate project designs for each area
• Two additional stakeholder meetings to critique designs and arrive on “final” draft design
• Once final draft design reached:• Further vetting by engineer• Grant funding• Project Construction
Lessons Learned• Have a flexible agenda in
case you need to “call an audible”
• Gather a mix of qualitativeand quantitative information when making a decision is critical
• Begin planning early• Check in often with your
facilitation team
