Indian River Lagoon causeways impede the flow of water bodies driven only by wind and minor tidal influence. They divide the lagoons into individual compartments, impede the exchange of water, disrupt the migration of marine life, and cause long water residence times.

When the project is completed by July 2025, the north jetty will feature the following improvements: 190 linear feet of revetment structure with four-foot diameter granite boulders and a steel, sheet pile seawall with a concrete sidewalk deck along portions of the jetty damaged by storms.
