Tiki Point at Harborwalk Living Shoreline Pilot Project
Introduction
In 2017, the Four Points Sheraton Hotel reached out to The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and the Charlotte
Harbor National Estuary Program (CHNEP) to express an interest in improving the natural aesthetics and
habitat value along the hotel's seawall. This led to the formation of a collaborative partnership to promote
nature-based shoreline improvements in the City of Punta Gorda (City). The partners include the City,
TNC, the Four Points Sheraton, CHNEP, FL Department of Environmental Protection Charlotte Harbor
Aquatic Preserves and CH2M Hill (Jacobs). The Four Points Sheraton has a public easement along the
seawalled shoreline of the hotel property for the City’s Harborwalk, which connects Laishley Park
municipal marina with the Charlotte Harbor Event and Conference Center. This pedestrian promenade
has promoted public use of the waterfront and has been a driver to continued improvements of the
appearance and function of the seawall through nature-based strategies that may also help to mitigate
the adverse effects of future storms. Figure 1 shows the proposed project location just west of the US
Highway 41 northbound bridge. The site includes the seawall in front of the Four Points Sheraton to the
Conference Center for an approximate shoreline length of 800 feet.
This technical memorandum (TM) provides conceptual designs to create a living shoreline along this
segment of the City’s Harborwalk and evaluate future expansion for implementation of this concept along
the City’s coastline. This TM provides the result of a preliminary field evaluation and presents preliminary
concepts for development of a living shoreline along the seawall to provide a higher performing coastal
environment.
Purpose of Project
This project is intended to build on the current momentum for enhancing natural habitat, improving water
quality and providing increased coastal resilience in the region through conceptual design of the first living
shoreline in Charlotte Harbor. As a model for the region, this living shoreline project is intended to provide
an example of a public-private partnership approach to project development. The conceptual plan also
explores the application of multiple elements of a living shoreline system that may be considered on other
projects in the Charlotte Harbor area, recognizing that each project will require analysis and design that
considers the unique needs and objectives of the local area. In addition, regulatory permitting
requirements for the proposed living shoreline were evaluated and potential funding sources, including
state and federal grants. This project is proposed to be sited near a seawall with existing rip rap and its
primary purpose is habitat creation along the seawall while it also will serve as a buffer during storm
events to increase the lifespan of the existing sea wall.
Data Collection
Data analysis for this project consisted of desktop data collection from projects currently underway and
GIS data already collected of the Charlotte Harbor/Peace River region obtained from partners and
stakeholders in the region. A field visit was also conducted to evaluate site conditions and develop basic
assumptions for the design concept, which will be supplemented with detailed investigations and
engineering during the future design phase, prior to construction.
Desktop Data Collection
Data was requested from Charlotte Harbor National Estuary Program, The Nature Conservancy, City of
Punta Gorda, and Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and included the following
information:
• GIS data for the region including, but not limited to: bathymetry and topography digital
elevation models (DEMs), shapefiles showing existing habitats, storm surge layers, and sea
level rise layers
• Natural Resources
• Listed Species of Concern
