Analvsis
The Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND), through its Waterways Assistance Program
has previously provided over $62 million in funding assistance to local governments within
the FIND District to perform waterways improvement projects. The grant program was
established by the Florida Legislature and the District for the purpose of cooperating with
local governments to alleviate problems associated with the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway
and associated waterways within the District. The program is authorized by Section
374.976, Florida Statutes. Administration of the program is carried out by FIND.
To qualify for funding, waterway related projects must be located on natural, navigable
waterways within the FIND District. Projects eligible for funding include: public navigation,
public waterway access facilities, public recreation, inlet management, beach
renourishment, environmental education and boating safety projects directly related to the
waterways. Annually, the District allocates approximately $7 million for the program.
The City has an ongoing shoreline and seawall restoration program and has allocated GO
Bond funds to repair seawalls citywide. The grant requires matching funds. The City
intends to apply for FIND funds using the previously allocated GO Bond funds as a match.

City has identified those eligible seawalls citywide that can be submitted for this grant. The
City will be responsible for the maintenance of the seawalls once they are restored. The
