Summary of FY24 Dredge Season
The FY24 dredge season achieved notable successes despite facing significant challenges. Key projects included work at the Cotuit Approach Channel, Poppy Approach Channel, and Great Pond Embayment & Entrance Channel. The dredges Cod Fish II and Sand Shifter skillfully navigated strong currents, extreme shoaling, and low tides.
However, the season also encountered difficulties, such as a late start and fewer projects due to a shortage of dredging permits, which led to decreased revenue and support. The failure of the CAT engine on the Booster Station, which was out for ten days, further complicated operations. Despite these setbacks, dredging continued, and the Harding’s Beach project reached 50% completion, with the dredged material used for essential beach restoration.
In summary, the FY24 dredge season successfully completed critical projects and contributed to Cape Cod’s coastal preservation, overcoming challenges including environmental restrictions, mechanical failures, and logistical issues. Review details in this presentation.
