Has anyone ever noticed this on Google Earth? I was zoomed into the area near Hog Island, just west of the Aransas Channel & Morris-Cummins cut. What is the boat hauling behind it? Looks like a large net of some kind.....stretches almost all the way to Conn Brown....weird.

| That image is several years old. It's a dredging machine, dredging the channel. The sand runs through the pipe away from the channel. |

| ANd that area at the top left is actually the dredge pit. That's where they dump the spoil. That is terminal flats and what was the seagrass research flats ( the previous experimental voluntary no prop zone). |
