Wondering whether Cedar Bayou is open between the Gulf and Mesquite Bay? Seems the last I heard it wasn't open, but that was a while back. Does nature ever open it, or is that a dredging operation? IslandJim

Cedar Bayou silted up around the time of Hurricane Harvey. It will have to be dredged open. This was understood when they did the first digging that it will need ongoing maintenance dredging. The permits and budgeting are in place to do it this next spring. (Or maybe it is 2021 I dont remember). They wait till after the whooping cranes go back north. The presence of whoopers stops anything.

But is also the only reason the government will continue to open the pass...long live them whooping cranes!

The only thing I could find is a Corps dredging project on Cedar Bayou by Baytown, supposed to start in Feb., '20 So, don't look for anything in Aransas County for a long while. Thanks, IslandJim
