UPDATES GALORE: I got a new semi-upbeat update on the effort to get a Little Egg Inlet channel dredged. It seems the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has mildly capitulated, showing willingness to at least consider a “one time” dredging. It would be a good-faith effort to see what impacts, if any, a channel dredging might have on adjacent Forsythe Refuge lands on Little Beach and, mainly, Holgate.

Things get a little more nebulous regarding the placement of materials from a one-time dredging.
