Background/Explanation:
The Pinellas County Shore Protection Project at Treasure Island was the twelfth nourishment of Treasure Island Beach, completed in 2018. The initial project occurred in 1969 and the most recent cycle prior to the 2018 nourishment was completed by the USACE in 2014. Since 2014, Tropical Storm Hermine and Hurricane Irma have contributed to significant erosion of the Beach. The Treasure Island segment, together with the Long Key segment, was recently authorized as one (1) project for an additional fifty (50) years.
Funds are budgeted in the County’s Coastal Management Program. The Tourist Development Tax will fund the County’s responsibility, estimated to be $2,540,000.00. FDEP provides funding not to exceed $2,540,000.00.
