The “Channelling the Green Deal for Venice” project seeks to address the problem of limited nautical accessibility to the ports of Venice and Chioggia.

It’s easy to see how this project fits in with the wider aim to keep Venice commercially viable as a port and tourist destination all year round.

Especially as it follows the construction of the Mose flood barrier system in 2020, which was spurred on by the need to defend the lagoon territory from increasingly frequent high water levels.
