The Natural Resources Division, through the Marine Resources Section, is dedicated to protecting Broward's beaches and coastal areas, which provide habitats for a variety of species including threatened or endangered corals, manatees, and sea turtles.
To help sustain local beaches, coral reefs, and marine flora and fauna, the Marine Resources Section has developed and implemented programs related to natural and artificial reefs, manatee protection, mooring buoys, and sea turtle conservation. The Marine Resources Section also works closely with the Beach Renourishment Program.
