All 18 photographs on this site come from Wikimedia Commons and are either in the public domain (U.S. government works), released to the public domain (CC0), or licensed under Creative Commons. Each was resized and converted to WebP for fast loading; no other changes were made. Where a photo was taken outside Florida, its caption says so. Photos of renourishment show projects in Virginia because we couldn't find a suitable openly licensed photo of a Florida project.
