Marinex is in its fifth day — not fifth week — of dredging, placing approximately 30,000 cubic yards of sand per day on the beach, with crews currently working in front of the Shipwatch area within a fenced construction zone of roughly 300 yards. The project, part of the city's Comprehensive Beach Management Plan, will ultimately place up to 2.5 million cubic yards of material along 19,200 linear feet of beach, with material dredged from an offshore borrow site roughly two miles southeast of the Island Pier. In the coming weeks, several beach access paths near Seascape and Port O'Call may close temporarily while crews remove sandbags and work along narrow beach sections.
