Seawalls, riprap and other shoreline stabilization structures

may require a permit or authorization from DEP 

before you build.

Here's a guide to Shoreline stabilization

Why does DEP care about the these structures?

To Protect 

• Florida's fragile waterways 

• Beach and dune system 

• Upland property along the shoreline

The State of Florida owns the submerged lands on which many of these structures are built. 

Before construction, you may need to obtain a permit from DEP to build a seawall or riprap, and authorization from DEP to use the State's submerged lands.
