I haven&#8217;t been shelling near the dredging site since it began because there is no public parking. Rats! Besides the Blind Pass (Turner Beach) parking, there is only one other Captiva public parking lot &#8211; Alison Hagerup lot&#8230; but that is closed to the public until they move the project equipment.\u00a0Can you believe how much sand has filled in near the jetty rocks? Hmmm&#8230; but not many shells on the beach- only sand. Yall know how fast the beach can change so if I know of any shell piles showing up, I&#8217;ll keep you posted.
