Saw an excellent NOVA episode (*Saving Venice*) on the MOSE barrier system. Disappointing that this innovative system is being undermined by the growth of algae.

>Activating the Mose has a significant economic impact, not only because closing the barriers costs the city upwards of €200,000 (£175,000) each time
Is that just the usual financial shenanigans of dividing the R&D/construction costs across times used, or is there stuff like consumable devices that need to be replaced after each activation?
