Re: GL: Closure of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway between Choctawhatchee Bay and Panama City

The Public Affairs Officer for the Mobile District of the Corps of Engineers
gave me this link () to get their notices.  This particular closure notice
dated 5 July 2013 is under "Gulf Intracoastal Waterway - Florida."  The
notice on there @ 1555 CDT only tells you it is closed.  The PAO told me she
had been given 20 July as the re-open date, while our local TV news director
was given "end of the month."  I would assume there will be no issue with
this passage by the time the fall migration of loopers begins and probably
well before then.
