Restoration efforts are underway to the dunes at the north beaches at NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida in this view on April 15, 2019. About 450,000 cubic yards of beach-quality sand, tested for compatibility, was transported to the space centers beaches. After the dune was built up, native coastal vegetation was replanted, helping to stabilize the dune and offer a habitat for Kennedys coast wildlife. Dunes are affected by beach erosion and storm surge from tropical events, such as hurricanes. Restoration began in spring 2018 and was targeted to be completed by April 2019.

Hurricane Irma was an extremely powerful and catastrophic hurricane, the strongest observed in the Atlantic since 2007. The storm caused catastrophic damage in the Florida Keys.
