The monuments are located at approximately 1,000-ft intervals starting with R-0 at the south 

 jetty of Canaveral Harbor and ending at R-219 at the southern border of the county, Sebastian 

 Inlet. This section of the Brevard County Atlantic Ocean coast is, therefore, approximately 

 41 miles long and is the focus of this report. Brevard County also extends north of Canaveral 

 Harbor to Volusia County, but this northern coastal area is Federal property (combination of the 

 air force base, National Aeronautic Space Administration, and the Cape Canaveral National 

 Seashore). The FDEP has no jurisdiction over Federal land, and thus no State-regulated 

 monuments exist in this northern area. Several USACE survey monuments located throughout 

 Brevard County have been used for studies of the Canaveral Harbor navigation project and the 

 Brevard County shore-projection project (see Figure 1-2). 



As required in Chapter 161.053, Florida Statutes (F.S.), the FDEP established a CCCL on a 

 county basis along the sandy beaches of the State fronting the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of 

 Mexico, and the Straits of Florida. The CCCL defines that portion of the beach-dune system that 

 is subject to "severe fluctuations" based on a 100-year storm surge, storm waves, or other 

 predictable oceanographic and meteorological conditions. The term "fluctuations" in the context 

 of the CCCL is assumed to refer to locations of shoreline recession (beach erosion) and shoreline 

 advance (beach accretion). The CCCL is not a setback line, but, rather, defines a jurisdictional 

 area in which construction seaward of the CCCL is regulated. A setback line generally restricts
