The Sand Shifter and the Cod Fish II will continue dredging from Monday through Saturday as conditions permit. The area highlighted attached and marked as ‘Restricted Area’ should be avoided as there will be submerged dredge pipe and cables/anchors throughout this area. The pipe will be marked with yellow/orange poly balls. The submerged dredge pipe can be as high as 20 inches from the bottom.

Stay to the east of the channel when departing Popponesset Bay or entering the channel from the south. Please use VHF Ch. 18 to arrange for passage when the dredges are operating.
