Palmer Point Park is owned by Sarasota County and adjacent to the historic Midnight Pass. The southeastern portion of the park was once used as a spoil disposal site by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for the construction of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Subsequently, this spoil disposal site was invaded by a mix of exotic Australian Pine and Brazilian Pepper trees. The current Project entails the removal of these exotics and environmental restoration of the spoil disposal site portion of Palmer Point Park to restore historical wetlands. The Project Area is identified as the southeastern section of Palmer Point Park, approximately 10 acres in size, on North Casey Key, Sarasota County, Florida.

Coastal Tech is contracted with Sarasota County to perform professional services to meet the needs of the Project relative to site characterization, public coordination, engineering design, and federal-state environmental permitting. To date, Coastal Tech has completed the site characterization, held three public meetings to determine an appropriate conceptual design, and submitted permit applications to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and USACE. Most recently, Coastal Tech met on-site with FDEP, USACE and National Marine Fisheries staff to verify resource surveys and determine appropriate measures for construction.
