Fast Facts :: Sand -Fencing Permit and Exemption Guidelines
Permit guidelines and exemption criteria for the
installation of sand fences along the oceanfront too
Aug. 1, 2002.
When properly installed, sand fences help build dui
trapping wind-blown sand. But if installed improper)
can impede public access to the beach, and can tra
endanger sea turtles, their nests or hatchlings.
Under the new guidelines, property owners who foll
certain criteria will be eligible for an exemption from
Coastal Area Management Act permit requirements
property owners want to put up sand fences that dif
from the criteria, they will have to apply for a CAMA
development permit. The new rules do not apply to
installed prior to Aug. 1.
What the guidelines say
The guidelines create a CAMA-minor permit anrtan exemptlon,for sand fencing.—To-goafifyiortheexemptfon; —
installation of new sand fencing has to meet the following criteria:
• The fencing must be no taller than 5 feet and built from evenly spaced thin wooden vertical slats connected
with twisted wire.
• The fencing must be placed as far landward as possible to avoid interference with sea turtle nesting, public
access and use of the beach. It must not be placed on the wet -sand beach.
• If fencing is to be placed parallel to the shoreline, it must not be located waterward of the crest of the frontal or
primary dune.
• If fencing is to be placed waterward of the crest of the dune, it must be installed at a 45-degree or greater
angle to the shoreline. Each section of fence must not be longer than 10 feet, and sections must be spaced at
least 7 feet apart.
• Fencing must not extend more than 10 feet beyond either the first line of stable natural vegetation, the toe of
the frontal or primary dune, or the erosion escarpment of the dune, whichever is closest to the water.
• Sand fencing to be placed along public accesses may be as long as the access, and may include a 45-degree
funnel on the waterward end. The funnel may extend up to 10 feet beyond the end of the access.
Why the guidelines are needed
In recent years, the amount of sand fencing along the coast has grown significantly as property owners sought to
protect their homes from storms and long-term beach erosion. As such, miles of sand fencing — some of which is
improperly Installed or neglected — now line the state's beaches.
Because Improper sand fencing can pose a threat to sea turtles, the state Wildlife Resources Commission has
developed voluntary sand fencing guidelines.
Several beach communities had attempted to address the issue through sand fencing ordinances, but the scope of
the problem required state attention. The CRC's new regulatory guidelines were developed in cooperation with the
WRC and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
