BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Brevard County’s Natural Resources Management Department, in partnership with Stella Maris Environmental Research, Inc., is now accepting pre-orders for the 2026 Annual Sea Oats Sale for beachfront property owners and municipalities.
Liner-size sea oats are available in trays of 96 for $86.60, while supplies last. Quantities are limited, and early ordering is encouraged.
Orders must be placed and paid for by Thursday, February 5, 2026. Pickup will take place on Saturday, February 14, 2026, from 8–11 a.m. at the Town of Melbourne Beach Meeting Hall.
Sea oats are native to Brevard’s coastal communities and stabilize sand quickly by developing an extensive root and rhizome system that holds onto sand and slows erosion.
Sea oats also have the ability to build dunes, as the grassy foliage and tall seed plumes trap windblown sand, which builds up at the plant base and stimulates the plants to grow taller.
The dunes that are formed are an important feature of our coastal ecosystem, as they provide habitat for wildlife and protect upland property during wind and storm events.
For more information or to place an order, email leslie.snyder@brevardfl.gov or visit the Stella Maris Sea Oat Sale website.
