Background:
This project will dredge a 1,450 feet-long section of the Sunrise Waterway from a point starting approximately 420 feet seaward of channel marker R2 and proceeding northerly to channel marker R4. The project will improve access to the interior waterways served by this access channel that is presently hindered by significant shoaling.
