The numerous inlets connecting Florida's inner waters to the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico are important from the consideration of recreational and commercial vessel traffic and also because they provide access to safe refuge for small boats during unexpected severe weather and waves. In addition, inlets act as flushing agents, providing renewal of bay waters by exchange with outer continental shelf waters. Inlets also serve as important migratory pathways for fish and shellfish. Unfortunately, inlets also contribute significantly to the serious beach erosion problem prevalent along most of Florida's shoreline. The complexities of the hydraulic and sediment transport mechanics in the vicinity of inlets present a formidable challenge to engineers and scientists. This report on Big Hickory Pass, New Pass and Big Carlos Pass is one in a 'Glossary of Inlets' series.
