Benthic Resource Surveying
a. Most marine construction projects in South Florida require an in-season benthic resource survey to identify seagrass, corals, and other protected marine life in the area. If you are planning a dock, seawall, lift, or any waterfront development, having a benthic resource survey on file can help avoid project delays.
b. Our in-house biologist conducts these surveys to ensure compliance with
permitting requirements. The FDEP’s official growing season for benthic surveysruns from April 1st to September 30th, and most agencies will require surveys during this timeframe for project approvals. Planning ahead and completing this survey early can help keep your project on schedule.

Why Choose Breezy Permits?
Frequently Asked Questions
The timeframe to receive approvals for a marine construction project varies depending on the location of your specific project site and the different environmental approvals that you will be required to obtain for that specific site. In most cases, if your project is farther than 300ft from a federal channel the timeframe to obtain all approvals will be between 3-4 months. If we need to obtain a separate approval from the corps then the timeline is typically 6-9 months when dealing with the army corps.
Yes! We are happily able to notarize any documents that may need to be notarized for your projects.
Are engineered plans required for marine construction projects? Can Breezy Permits coordinate this on your behalf?
The majority of local building departments and some environmental agencies require official signed and sealed engineered plans to obtain approvals for marine construction projects. Breezy Permits can happily coordinate for engineered plans to be made for your project with one of our trusted vendors for a 20% coordination fee.
Do you need to obtain environmental approval for a dock replacement? How about a boat lift replacement or a new installation?
Yes! Dock replacements, boat lift replacements, and new boat lift installations ALL require environmental approval. Typically a replacement that is being proposed within the same footprint will
obtain environmental approvals a lot quicker than a brand new dock that’s being proposed.
What survey is typically always needed for projects in the MC industry? & what are some other common types of surveys that might be requested during the permitting process for these projects?
A boundary survey is always needed to make engineered plans for projects in the marine construction industry. Depending on the complexity and the location of your project the following surveys
might also be requested:
Breezy Permits can always coordinate these on your behalf with one
of our trusted vendors for a 20% coordination fee.
might also be requested:
- XY Survey
- Topographic Survey
- Seagrass Survey
of our trusted vendors for a 20% coordination fee.
Constructing without the proper permits can lead to fines, stop-work orders, or even the requirement to remove the structure. Breezy Permits ensures your project is fully compliant from the start, avoiding costly legal and environmental issues.
We handle everything from initial consultations and site assessments to application submissions and agency coordination. Our expertise ensures your project moves forward smoothly, reducing stress and saving you time by navigating the complexities of marine permitting on your behalf.
