    • [EXPIRED] Shoaling Reported in Matanzas Pass Channel, Gulf Coast of West Florida, July 4, 2012

      The shoaling described below in this article, cherry picked from the Local Notice to Mariners, is taking place in the primary Fort Myers Beach entry channel, providing access to the very popular Fort Myers Beach Mooring Field, and the various marina facilities in the area. And, as you will see, MLW soundings of 3.5 feet hard by the south-side entrance point, are really bad news for the cruising community.
      We are following this situation closely, and attempting to acquire more information. If any cruisers have had recent experience with the Fort Myers Beach/Mantanzas Pass Channel, PLEASE click the “Comment on This Posting/Marina/Anchorage/Bridge” link below, and share your information!
      In the meantime, we are declaring an SSECN Navigation Alert for these waters!
