• Pig Island Gut Dredging:

  • Volume: Approximately 17,000 cubic yards of sediment will be dredged from shoaled portions.
  • Channel: The 6-foot channel is 80 feet wide.
  • Anchorage: Includes dredging of shoaled portions of the 6-foot anchorage.
  • Purpose: Maintaining the channel and anchorage at their designated depths to facilitate safe vessel movement and anchoring.
