News From the City of Treasure Island • Oct. 18, 2023 |
|
 Treasure Island and Pinellas County officials are asking for the public’s help in protecting the major multi-million-dollar sand dune restoration on Sunset Beach by STAYING OFF the newly created dunes. By trampling on the dunes, people are tearing down the dunes before vegetation has been planted which will help keep the dunes in place. This area is a designated construction zone and trespassing is prohibited.
Phase two of the Sunset Beach Emergency Dune Restoration project has begun and will consist of planting native dune plants over a two-week period. This is why we are asking everyone to help the city and county protect this major investment by staying off the dunes and the new vegetation. Beaches are expected to reopen on Oct. 30, weather permitting. Parking lot closures will likely extend past this date for contractor demobilization and restoration.
Sand dunes are part of the natural Florida coastal ecosystem and provide protection against storm surge and tides. This protection translates to a reduction in coastal flooding and structural damage. This system also provides a critical habitat for many dune species. It’s vital that everyone does their part to help protect the dunes and this investment into the environment.
