Marco Island Coastal Habitat & Water Quality
(C-HAWQ) Initiative

The C-HAWQ Initiative aims to improve the natural beauty and water quality of Marco Island and its 100 miles of inland canals through an innovative restoration project.

Project Overview

Marco Island has grappled with water quality issues within its inland canals for years. The C-HAWQ Initiative proposes an unsolicited public-private partnership with the City of Marco Island to fund, design, and build island habitats using the dredged canal material. The public-private partnership is an important relationship between the City and the selected general contractor, Earthwerks Land Improvement & Development Corp to execute the project fully. The project timeline should take approximately 2 years to complete after permitting with 3 additional years of monitoring and maintenance of the islands.
