Regular beach ‘re-nourishment' is essential. We continue to monitor the maintenance of this major asset and its access points. Health and safety of waterways are a major focus. Wiggins Pass is regularly dredged. Regular dredging allows better flushing action by seawater during tides, helps maintain water quality for mangroves and sea life, and also ensures that boats can navigate the pass and backwaters. Regular water quality testing continues in conjunction with the Estuary Conservation Association and Florida Gulf Coast University. We would also like to see our lagoon reconnected with Clam Bay, restoring the water flow truncated when Pelican Bay was developed.
