If west Bass and west Tarpon are seawalled, soon homes and boat docks will be built in the channels. Will these docks make the channels more difficult to navigate?
No. The city reviews plans for all proposed boat docks. The city’s policy is to require that no more than 50% of the width of the channel be encumbered with structures such as docks. There should be at least 50 feet of navigable channel for a channel 100 feet in width. The city believes navigability of channels will be improved by the project.
