In the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, Coast Guardsmen have been working tirelessly to restore vital navigation aids along the west coast of Florida. On October 15, 2024, teams were deployed to repair and restore these essential maritime tools, ensuring safe passage for vessels navigating the region. The navigation aids were severely damaged during the powerful hurricane, disrupting critical marine routes.
The efforts of the Coast Guard are crucial to restoring normalcy in Florida’s waterways, which are vital to both commercial and recreational maritime traffic. These repairs are part of a broader response effort to address the widespread damage caused by the storm, and the Coast Guard remains committed to ensuring the safety and security of the region’s waters.
