The dredging pipeline was used from Nanjing Deers in the dredging project at Moriches Bay

Introduction of dredging project

On the heels of the Moriches Inlet emergency dredging that wrapped up last month, the next phase is underway on Moriches Bay. A company was awarded the 3 million dollars contract to remove 57,000 cubic yards of sand from 2.7miles of the Intracoastal waterway in the vicinity of Moriches Inlet and the Coast Guard station. This area became treacherous last season for boaters. This overall operation is much smaller than the inlet project, requiring less support equipment and a smaller pipe but is still impressive.

Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company finished pumping sand on March 17 and are in the process of breaking down the piping and equipment. The 10 million dollars contract called for a 15-foot high dune and 140 feet of beach and as you will see in the photos they provided at least that much.

Moriches Bay is a lagoon system on the south shore of Long Island, New York. Two townships in Suffolk, New York share its shoreline. Moriches Bay is east of the Mastic Narrows and Great South Bay and west of Shinnecock Bay. The bay is 62 miles east of New York City. Moriches Bay has a body of water of 9,480-care of the aquatic environment. If you need, please feel free to contact us. We are 7/24 by your side.
