Dredging Relieves Shoals at Boca Raton Inlet

Extreme shoaling along the north jetty of Boca Raton Inlet has been mostly removed by a city-owned dredge boat this week, following a series of storms at the end of September which were immediately followed by a “king tide” earlier this month. The buildup of sand caused a stir on social media, where drone photos showed nearly half the inlet lacking any depth, and some people even walking in what would normally be a navigable waterway.
