As a beach walker, I appreciate both the beauty and fragility of our ecosystem. With the double whammy of Hurricanes Ian and Milton, Clam Bay and the mangroves took a beating.
Thanks to Pelican Bay Services Division and Collier County Commissioner Dan Kowal, inlet and dune restoration took place in late 2025. Best of all, the project included the replenishment of the mangroves that protect the coastline. Beyond beautification, this is the first example of a nature-based resiliency solution in Collier County.
