I'm talking at least as far out as the second sand bar, that's what...at least 200ft from shore +/-. I don't have access to a boat or dive gear so anything furhter out is beyond me.
I would never consider adding any measurable amount of sand that could be collected by those means off of the Texas coast. Out beaches are brown for a reason. The water flows from the Mississippi River through the deltas of Louisiana. All that sediment and waste from this influx spreads along our coastline.
