What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A $12 million coastal restoration project has begun in Sarasota County to restore more than a mile of storm-damaged sand dunes on Lido Beach. The joint effort involves the city of Sarasota, Sarasota County, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Crews are using 3,000 cubic yards of sand from navigational dredging at New Pass to build dunes that are intended to stand 2 to 2.5 feet tall. The project aims to protect upland property and Ben Franklin Drive by creating a critical natural buffer against storm surge.
