The Intracoastal Waterway connects to the eastern edge of the bay, and Santa Rosa Sound attaches at the southwest edge. East Pass links the Gulf of Mexico to the bay at the bay's southwest edge. The stability of East Pass is of great significance to local interests. Traffic through the inlet includes charter vessels, a fishing fleet, recreational craft, some freight traffic, and military vessels. The tourism and real estate industries also have a vested interest in the condition of the inlet, specifically, the inlet's eastern side consisting of Holiday Isle and Norriego Point. A review of East Pass history and the surrounding area gives the natural behavior of the inlet as well as an account of the inlet's response to previous stabilization attempts. As the only inlet for 100 miles on this stretch of the Florida panhandle, East Pass has provided a passageway for vessels since the early 1800s. The first hydrographic map of the area, made by John Williams in 1827, indicates that Moreno Point occupied much the same position as it does today (Morang 1992). In addition, the location of a flood shoal and the northern terminus of the pass was also situated at its current position adjacent to Moreno Point. The southern terminus, however, has changed signi
