Last Call to Share Beach Usage and Experiences for Volusia County’s Coastal Survey

Posted On: January 7, 2025

Volusia County urges all residents, property owners, businesses, and visitors to participate in the Coastal Management Survey to share their insights into beach usage and experiences. As the Jan. 12 deadline nears, participation in this survey will influence the future management and enhancement of local beaches. More than 7,000 individuals have already responded, but each additional voice is important.

This survey is instrumental in understanding public usage and perceptions of the community's beaches. The insights gained will inform a series of public meetings focused on beach resiliency improvements. Additionally, the data will contribute to developing a second survey, slated for release in the spring or summer, which will explore potential resiliency enhancements. These enhancements will be informed by ongoing research into Volusia's unique coastal dynamics.

Participants who have not yet shared their thoughts can access the survey directly hereor by visiting www.volusia.org. For individuals requiring assistance, in-person support is available at the Volusia County Beach Safety Headquarters, 515 S. Atlantic Ave., Daytona Beach.

The community is encouraged to participate in this survey to ensure their voices are heard when planning Volusia County's beaches' future. Their insights are essential in creating strategies that embody each area's vision.
