- Venice is drafting a new flood‑plan B after five years of operating the MOSE barriers, which have caused ecological damage.
- MOSE flood‑defence system, launched five years ago, is now under scrutiny for overuse and its impact on the lagoon.
- Arsenale remains the hub for water management, coordinating the city's response to rising sea levels.
Why it matters: Venice’s city council gains a new flood strategy after five years of MOSE operation, while ecological damage from overuse hurts lagoon biodiversity and depresses tourism earnings.
