Shallow canal issue

[wardo]

Any of you folks know how to remedy a shallow canal? I'm in Jamaica Beach and the canal behind my house has become quite shallow because the bulkhead from the lot next door is virtually gone and sand from the lot is washing into the canal. I can't find any guidance online. If you've ever heard of this I'd like to know how to solve the problem. I can't imagine I am the only one who has ever had this issue.

Thanks for sharing what you know!

The neighborhood association will have to remedy the issue by dredging. If it's an inconvenience only to you then I would imagine they probably will just say sorry, we're not dredging. Other than that be careful.. There are quite a few clean water act regs and other state and local statutes that could apply if you go to do something yourself.

We have a similar issue on our canal in JB...please update this thread when you figure out how to remedy the situation.

Big Boat and propwash the heck outta it??? Pump and rod/piping and either suck it out and build up low spots in yard or push fine sediment down the canal??

I don't know the regulations, but maybe the property owners along the canal could pay to have it dredged. It wouldn't be to expensive, if they will allow it.

.....agreed! ought to be plenty of shrimp boat owners that could use a little extra cash.
