Island Pier, one of the most popular local fishing destinations for
more than 40 years, apparently rests with constantly changing
currents that have choked off all but a small section of open water
deep enough to fish.
A portion of Pelican Island drifted northwestward toward the
pier after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and eventually even touched
the tip of the structure in the Gulf of Mexico.
Mike Henderson, president of the Park and Beach Board, said the
panel has no way to counter the effects of the shoaling around the
pier.
The 850-foot-long pier has been continually rebuilt after being
destroyed by hurricanes since 1969, and even escaped massive damage
from Katrina.
Henderson said the hurricane apparently created an eddy that
changed water flow around Pelican Island instead. He said options
such as moving the pier are not feasible.
