Helpful Info > Status of Piper Channel

There's great news for all those who want assurances that they'd be able to get their boats out to deep water from Island Moorings and The Moorings due to the frequent silting of Piper Channel. The channel provides boat access from Island Moorings to the Corpus Christi Ship Channel and the Gulf of Mexico. Thanks to the recent announcement of some $6.35 million from local, state and federal funding for projects such as this, this problem has been Homeowners and would-be homeowners have long been concerned about this matter.

In addition to the funds that will be used for preserving the 1,2000 acre Port Aransas Nature Preserve, the funds have been used for two 800 foot jetties that are located at the mouth of Piper Channel as it empties into the Corpus Christi Ship Channel. The metal and rock jetties have been designed to keep the channel from silting. Apart from easing the concerns of boat owners who enjoy deep sea fishing, this activity should have a significant impact on home values in the Island Moorings area.
