Dredging wraps up in Channel Islands Harbor
OXNARD, Calif. — A dredging project at Channel Islands Harbor was completed over the weekend.
The H.R. Morris crew shut down the heavy equipment after moving 900,000 cubic yards of sand, according to Channel Islands Harbor Director Michael Tripp. The original goal was 2.5 million cubic yards, but the project started late, he said.1
Channel Islands Harbor officials said Congress allocated more than $16.5 million for the dredging project to keep the harbor accessible to boats and prevent erosion on local beaches.
- News Channel originally reported that Army Crops was able to dredge 16 million cubic yards of sand through buried pipes along silver strand to Port Hueneme. Tripp verified the exact amount Monday morning. ↩︎
