Inlet Management Plan discussion rescheduled

The Manatee County Board of County Commissioners discussion of the Longboat Pass Inlet Management Plan originally scheduled for March 13 has been rescheduled for March 27 at the county commission’s regular meeting. The study suggests that a single terminal groin on Beer Can Island and two permeable adjustable groins are key parts of the solution to stopping the southward movement of Longboat Pass and stopping north-end erosion. At the meeting, county staff will seek direction from commissioners to proceed with the final design and permitting of the study’s recommendations.
