Marco Island's Sand Dollar-Tigertail Sand Berm Progress

[@andrewt7262]

Thank you Tom. So, this is what 'regular maintenance ' looks like!

Great flyover and narration. We appreciate the updates for us Marco snowbirds here in Chicago.

Thank you, Patrick. I hope you enjoy the holidays there and then get back to the island soon.

They are digging out the backside of north end as all that sand was pushed there an it was very shallow. Now nice and deep drop off. Thx for the aerial update. I think you’re correct too. They have to move that shoreline way out.

Thanks for keeping us informed! A great video.

You're very welcome, Kay.

Thanks for posting this video. A few years ago I could walk all the way to the end, but not anymore. So, I love seeing the updates.

[@evolutionaryTom]

I hope you'll be able to once again soon!

Tom, have you done any flyover around the coast (Cape Marco or Tiger Tail) looking for manatees or sharks?

Environmental disaster and why would HAB and County spend money on this? Tigertail lost its connection to the marco river for kayaking. The small pond adjacent to Tigertail is going to fill in with muck and dead mangrove branches. They should just fill in pond area between Tigertail park and the new outer berm. Then park people can access beach and not have to walk all the way around down to Gulf View Condos. That new narrow outer berm being built with sand borrowed from inland lagoon won’t last 5 minutes of next winter storm. Give it up!

As I mentioned, I wish I had a photo of what the finished project is going to look like this time. Maybe no different that the last since this is considered a "repair" job.
