Description
The eastern part of the canal between 43rd Ave N and 42nd Ave N is full of sediment due to the storm drain either pushing heavy amounts of sediment into the canal, or the turbulent outflow piling up muck on either side of the pipe. This canal is completely impassible at low tide only at these areas, due to the storm drain. Tax payers such as myself spend considerable amounts of money to be on the water and have unobstructed boating access, which is slowly being taken away from us.

Pinellas County policy is that we do not dredge canals or channels for navigational purposes. Most of the canal is private, and dredging in the past was at the cost of the residents. If you would want to dredge for navigational purposes please coordinate with all property owners and Pinellas County Environmental Management's Water & Navigation at (727) 453-3385 or via email Watershed@pinellascounty.org .
