- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 12 Feb, 2026 at 08:30 am
- **Event Description**: Okaloosa County, Florida – The Okaloosa Board of County Commissioners invites the public to commemorate the completion of 2,000 feet of living shoreline constructed in the Choctawhatchee Bay, with a ceremony at Ross Marler Park on Okaloosa Island on Thursday, February 12, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. 
This multi-year effort utilized a cost-effective, nature-based solution to mitigate erosion and enhance the ecosystem surrounding nearby Veterans Park and Marler Park.
“This unique landscape is home to so many species that we need to protect,“ said Okaloosa County Commissioner Carolyn Ketchel (District 2). “This living shoreline will supplement their success, the health of our bay and extend the life of these wonderful parks.”
The installation of this living shoreline is much more cost-effective than traditional shoreline barriers and coincides with the proper intention of these parks for visitors while recognizing the importance of the natural surroundings.
