John’s Pass dredging helped, but sand is reaccumulating

Nearly five months after Bayside Dredging LLC cleared thousands of cubic yards of sand from John's Pass, Hubbard's Marina owner Dylan Hubbard says boaters are safer — but the fix may not last. According to coastal scientists, any permanent solution could come at the expense of beaches south of the pass.

"The sand is gone, and we got the water there," Hubbard said. "But it's nowhere remotely where we need it to be. It's a good first step, a huge improvement, but there's still sand and a lot of bridge material left."
