Presque Isle Beach Nourishment Completed for 33rd Year

Maintaining the Presque Isle shoreline is essential for safe navigation in Erie Harbor, the health of the local economy, and the continued success of tourism in the region.

Thanks to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Buffalo District’s beach nourishment project, which started in 1993, we’re helping preserve the peninsula for years to come.

In its 33rd year, the project has placed over 1,436,130 cubic yards (1.86M tons) of sand on the beach, keeping it safe from erosion and maintaining the viability of the harbor, as well as Presque Isle State Park’s vibrant ecosystem and tourism benefits.
