The Dredge Report - UPDATE Sep 17
Posted on Sep 17th, 2021

 
Note: Because of unplanned events, a nineteen-day delay from Sep 2 - 21, has stopped dredging operations on the mouth. First came equipment failure, then a tropical storm/hurricane and finally repositioning the dredge and pipeline due to hurricane havoc.
