Maintenance Dredging
Popponesset Bay
The Barnstable County Dredge ‘Cod Fish II’ will be conducting dredging operations in the South Channel of Popponesset Bay starting Wednesday, September 22nd through Wednesday, September 28th (weather and equipment status will determine dredging times), the hours of operations are Monday thru Saturday 0800 to 1600.
The ‘Cod Fish II’ is stationary and has limited maneuverability while dredging. The discharge pipe maybe floating at times and may block the channel. Mariners are requested to give adequate clearance to the dredge equipment at all times.
The Dredge and supporting watercraft can be contacted via VHF Channel 16 and 18.
