Treasure Island beachfill project on the way

Pinellas County (FL) is planning a beach nourishment project on the Treasure Island in 2025/2026.

The project intends to restore beach destroyed by Hurricanes Idalia, Helene and Milton. Construction of the project requires the establishment of an Erosion Control Line (ECL) along the length of the project.

The location of the Proposed ECL was established based upon the 1968 Mean High Water Line (MHWL), legal documentation from previous property surveys and field observations, as surveyed on July 30, 2024.

The proposed Erosion Control Line lies along the shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico at Treasure Island in Pinellas County, FL, extending a distance of 2.21 miles or 11,685.7 feet.

Staff from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Pinellas County Government, and APTIM, Inc. will hold a public meeting on Jan. 22 at City Hall from 6-8 p.m. to explain the ECL and the proposed nourishment.
