They come to $750,000 for the Captiva project and along with $743,000 for financing and $200,000 for sand search are part of the total $8.2 million for that seg- ment. The sand search has already been done and been paid for. Campbell said other governments would pay a greater share of the inlet management project cost. He said the state would pay 75 percent and the other 25 percent could be paid by Lee County or by the federal government. Campbell predicted that the erosion taking place on Captiva will not speed up but will continue over the next couple of years, taking another 10 feet or so of beach. He said he does not see disaster, that it will be "progressively worse but not critical." He predicted that no houses would be hit by waves and that you might see waves splashing at the road but you won't S see the road falling in.
