Ralph Brown from the St. Johns River Water Management District gave a presentation on the proposed muck dredging in the St. Sebastian River and of a shoal behind the inlet. The dredging is required because the natural sump areas in the river which capture the muck before it reaches the lagoon are full. By removing the build-up, these areas will once again capture muck. Other options are also being examined to help control the amount of muck entering the river. The shoal behind the Inlet is being dredged to allow direct access to the intracoastal waterway channel and avoid boats taking several routes causing widespread seagrass damage.
