The Corps will repair eroding beaches near two Holiday Isle condominiums by dredging about 185000 yards of sand and shifting the channel west.

After East Pass, crews move to Choctawhatchee West Bay as part of the Intercoastal Waterway project. Residents had complained wakes eroded beaches after a prior jetty gap was closed.
