Big Hickory Pass is a tidal inlet, meaning the water level fluctuates due to tides. However, unlike natural inlets, it's man-made, created in the late 19th century. Despite its artificial origin, the pass serves as a crucial connection for marine life. Fish, sharks, and even manatees migrate through the pass between the bay and the Gulf.
