en.Wedoany.com Reported - The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has initiated a beach nourishment project in the City of Venice, Florida, aimed at replenishing sand along approximately 3.2 miles of severely eroded coastline. The project area extends from south of Venice Inlet to south of the Venice Fishing Pier.

The City of Venice Government stated that the project includes extensive environmental monitoring, with Mote Marine Laboratory responsible for relocating sea turtle nests. This initiative aims to replace sand lost due to background erosion and storm impacts since the last nourishment project in 2015, restoring beach width to preserve sand for critical habitats and public recreation, while protecting upland properties and infrastructure.

The project is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, with contractor Weeks Marine, Inc. The construction contract amount is $27,495,000, fully funded by the federal government. Construction is scheduled to begin in June 2026 and is planned for completion in September of the same year.
