BUDDY MACKAY CAMPAIGN FUND: Public land under threat: Agencies raise alarm about Jupiter Lighthouse area erosion

Jupiter

Buddy Mackay Campaign Fund issued the following announcement on March 8.

The land around the Jupiter Lighthouse overlooks the crystal-blue waters of the Indian and Loxahatchee rivers and, after years of careful plant removal and reintroduction, is lush with native flora. It’s 120 acres of protected land that’s designated for public use, on a shoreline that’s dominated by private, multi-million dollar homes. But since 1953, the area around the lighthouse has lost five acres of land — estimated to be worth between $4.8 and $24.4 million — to erosion.
