Dubbed 'Life Lagoon Refresh', the project, launched in 2017, diverts a freshwater flow from the Sile River into the lagoon.
Carlo Marchesi and Adriano Croitoru transplant reeds in the Venetian lagoon as part of a project that aims to restore its environment by increasing fresh water input.VENICE - Venice may be famed for Saint Mark's Square or the Bridge of Sighs, but the Italian city has another jewel that is often overlooked: its lagoon.
However, an environmental project aims to restore it to its former glory, by introducing more fresh water."The idea is to recreate an environment that has been lost over time, because rivers were diverted out of the lagoon," Rossella Boscolo Brusa, the project's leader, told AFP.
