Agreement 23PI2 is for the Treasure Island segment of the 2023 County Shore Protection Project, which was placed hold by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The Sunset Beach segment to the north is 2,344 feet long, extending from 127th Avenue to 120th Avenue. The Sunset Beach segment to the south is 6,369 feet long, extending from 98th Avenue to approximately 600 feet south of 77th Avenue.
Background/Explanation:
The thirteenth nourishment of Treasure Island commenced in the Fall of 2023. The initial project occurred in 1969, with the most recent cycle completed by the USACE in 2018. Since then, winter fronts and Tropical Storm Eta significantly eroded Sunset Beach in Treasure Island.
The Treasure Island segment of the County Shore Protection project, together with the Long Key segment, was recently authorized as one project for an additional fifty (50) years. This Project is being constructed by the County without USACE support.
Funds are budgeted in the County’s Capital Improvement Program: Physical Environment, Coastal Management Projects program allocation. The Tourist Development Tax will fund the County’s responsibility, estimated to be $2,525,000.00. FDEP will provide funding not to exceed $2,525,000.00.
