Volusia Residents Invited to Help Shape Coastal Resiliency

Volusia County is conducting a study to gather information on how residents and visitors use the County's beaches and their perceptions of the beach’s quality. The study will explore additional beach management options beyond the planned Coastal Sand Placement projects, which are funded by a Florida Department of Environmental Protection grant and set to begin in early 2025.
The first survey in this study, which will focus on beach usage and perceived quality, is now available online at www.volusia.org. Residents, property owners, businesses, and visitors are invited to share their input through the survey, which should take less than 10 minutes to complete. The survey will remain open until 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 12, 2025. Participants who complete the survey and provide their email addresses at the end will receive automatic updates about upcoming public meetings and the availability of the second survey.
In February, the County will host a series of public meetings to provide information about the various potential beach resiliency improvements, answer questions, and gather additional community feedback. A second survey regarding potential beach resiliency improvements will be released in the spring or summer of 2025. This survey will be informed by the first survey's results and public meeting input. It will focus on a study of Volusia's unique dynamic coastal processes, historical shoreline trend research (currently underway), and possible funding options for such projects.
Volusia County encourages anyone with an interest in Volusia's Beaches to complete and share the survey with others who are invested in ensuring a resilient coastline for generations to come. Information about the survey and a direct link will be posted on the County's social media channels. Flyers featuring a QR code for easy access will also be distributed throughout the community.
For those unable to complete the survey online, in-person assistance is available at Volusia County Beach Safety Headquarters, 515 S. Atlantic Ave., Daytona Beach.
The direct link to the survey is available here.
