This project, funded by the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA), aimed to restore over-washed sand that had accumulated on roads and private properties. The Public Works Maintenance and Operations Division, along with our debris contractor, Ashbritt, and private contractors, collected and transported the sand to the designated sand recipient sites on Manasota Key and Don Pedro Knight Islands. Ashbritt and their subcontractor ICS were responsible for screening the sand to eliminate any hurricane or construction debris. After the screening process, the sand was carefully placed back onto the critically eroded shoreline. Hurricanes Helene and Milton Overwash Sand Recovery Program
