The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are leading the renourishment project in partnership with the City of Sarasota, which is part of a 50-year agreement for the renourishment of Lido Beach at approximately 5-year intervals.
Once completed, 1.2 miles of shoreline will have been renourished after significant sand loss during the 2024 hurricane season.
USACE expects to complete this project in early April, prior to sea turtle nesting season, the City concluded.
