Collier County’s 2023 Emergency Berm Project is expected to begin the first week of April. The project, approved by county commissioners in January in response to major sand loss due to Hurricane Ian, will place 20-to-30-feet-wide, knee-high berms along the county’s coast. 

Naples City Council discussed this week how the project will be carried out and how it will affect the city’s livelihood.  

The berm, receiving sand from Stewart Mining in Immokalee, will be completed in four phases. Phase one will begin at the Naples Beach Club area and continue south. The project is expected to take around 70 days, finishing by Memorial Day weekend.
