The City of Sarasota has been working closely with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on a long term shoreline stabilization and protection plan for Lido Beach. The proposal ensures Lido Beach would be restored at least every five years using recycled sand coming from the alternating locations of New Pass and Big Pass.
