The sand from the dredging operation in the East Pass is making its way to the local beaches. The operation looks similar to the pumping that I saw at the jetties. Here are some pictures:
Psalm 104:24,25
O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.
So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

The third pic shows "Destin" in the distance. The operation is behind Hidden Dunes (just East of the Silver Sands Outlet). The paper says they estimate that they are 20% finished with the project. The sand is coming from the East Pass and is being barged. The operation will continue moving West along the beach until somewhere past Henderson State Park, I believe. These are the most eroded beaches in the area.

It was 'really bad' from the Whale Tale (bar on beach) back past the beach access past Pompano Joes when I was down there in October. Some of the houses (on silts) had the sand washed out from underneath them and the parking lots had fallen in some even.
If you get any pics near the Crystal Pier pilings and the condos around it (Crystal Sands), let me know. That's where we are staying again in May.
They are projected to be finished somewhere around June, you may have some neighbors in the sandbox while you are here . They work around the clock with only small 3 hour breaks to let the Sturgeon in and out of the bay.
BTW - the red arrow is where the sand/water flows out from the barge.
