Re: Any News on Dredging? My opinion lately is that a majority of funding may have to be private or grant. With no Cast Guard station and little to no commercial traffic maintaining East cut is seen by some as unnecessary. Environmental impact can be argued either...

Any News on Dredging? Hello!  I was wondering if there has been any more news related to getting the dredging done at the jetties and the mouth of the harbor?  Are boats still able to safely make it in and out the jetties to offshore?
