Channel Islands Harbor said that the dredging operations in the harbor have resumed.
Manson Construction will dredge sand from the harbor entrance to downcoast beaches to support shoreline protection.
“ Operations may continue through February 2026. Heavy equipment on Silver Strand Beach will operate from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Dredging may pause for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s ,” said Channel Islands Harbor .
Dredged material will be hydraulically pumped from Channel Islands and transported about one mile south, where it is placed onto Hueneme Beach.
The placement of beach-quality material provides coastal protection to downcoast beaches, USACE said.
