Mitigation Measures Against Coastal Erosion - Val-Comeau Provincial Park

FY 2025-26 · 2025-11-18

Summary
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.

Description (French)
Ce projet concerne l'installation d'une protection de type blindage souple, en retrait du rivage existant, sur environ 608 m de la côte du parc provincial de Val-Comeau. Les parcs provinciaux du Nouveau-Brunswick relèvent du ministère du Tourisme, du Patrimoine et de la Culture (MTPC). En raison de l'augmentation des dommages sur cette propriété, le DTHC a engagé un consultant pour effectuer un examen des options permettant d'atténuer les dommages futurs. Ce rapport a déterminé la meilleure façon, la plus respectueuse de l'environnement, de réaliser ces travaux tout en préservant les dunes naturelles sensibles présentes sur la propriété. La mise en œuvre de cette protection du littoral devrait permettre de protéger l'infrastructure du parc dans un avenir prévisible et de maintenir les avantages économiques associés qu'il offre à la communauté locale, tout en préservant l'importance écologique de la plage et de l'environnement des dunes de sable.
