Local context
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is a small oceanfront town between Pompano Beach and Fort Lauderdale, with a mix of Atlantic frontage and Intracoastal-connected residential properties. Oceanfront work involves CCCL coordination through FDEP; bay-side projects follow standard ERP and USACE pathways.
Permit review runs through Broward County DPEP and the Town of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Building Department. The town's small size makes coordinated multi-property dredging especially efficient when neighbors plan together.
