Il MOSE, acronimo di Modulo sperimentale elettromeccanico, è un sistema di dighe mobili finalizzato alla difesa della città di Venezia e della sua laguna dal fenomeno dell’acqua alta. Il MOSE è formato da quattro barriere collocate alle bocche di porto della laguna di Venezia composte complessivamente da settantotto paratoie mobili tra loro indipendenti, incernierate al fondale su un lato e azionate dalla variazione della propria galleggiabilità attraverso l’immissione e l’espulsione di acqua e aria.
