Title:

Mitigation Measures Against Coastal Erosion - Val-Comeau Provincial Park

Agreement Number:

Agreement Value:

$600,000.00

Agreement Date:

Nov 18, 2025 - Mar 31, 2033

Description:

This project is for the installation of a soft-armoring type of protection, set back from the existing shoreline, along approximately 608 m of the coast at Val-Comeau Provincial Park. Provincial Parks in New Brunswick fall under the Department of Tourism Heritage and Culture (DTHC). DTHC, due to increasing damage at this property, hired a consultant to conduct a review of options to mitigate future damage. This report determined the best, most environmentally sensitive way to complete this work while maintaining the sensitive natural dunes present on the property. The implementation of this shoreline protection should protect the park infrastructure for the foreseeable future and maintain the associated economic benefits it offers to the local community, while preserving the ecological importance of the beach and the sand dunes environment.
