The contractor's crew laid down ground protection mats for the FRS 3300 extractor early in the morning at the Flagler Beach renourishment site. The construction crew moved the 80lb mats on the section that was less than a mile on A1A. The newly constructed beach and dune system will serve as the first defense against future storm events and sea level rise. The Flagler Co.
