Oceanside Harbor Dredging Begins

[Sherman A1]

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District began its annual dredging of the Oceanside Harbor inlet starting April 19.

Manson Construction Company of Seattle is dredging the channel to its authorized federal depth of 20 feet. Dredging is expected to be completed prior to Memorial Day weekend.

About 250,000 cubic yards of beach-quality sand will be removed from the harbor’s entrance channel and placed along Oceanside’s beaches. The project’s local sponsor is the City of Oceanside.

The annual dredging project is conducted to maintain the federal channel within the harbor at its authorized federal depth and to provide safe navigation for recreational, commercial and military vessels that use it. Oceanside Harbor is one of four annual dredging projects conducted by the LA District.

1. I visited in that area as a child and lived there as an adult. I can recall seeing

a billboard that read 'Tan Your Hide In Oceanside'. Now we can bring our boats too.

2. I remember those billboards too...

I spent many a day on the beach in Oceanside as a kid. We used to rent little rubber rafts for like $.25 for a few hours.
