VENTURA— With recent winter storms and high tide events having severely eroded areas of the California coastline and Ventura Harbor scenic beaches over the past few months, Ventura Harbor's annual dredging activities have significantly contributed to overall beach restoration. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), working with the Manson Construction Company, began dredging operations in Ventura Harbor on March 11. An estimated 485,000 cubic yards of material was dredged from the federal channel and sand traps to ensure the Harbor entrance remained safe for boaters and commercial fishermen year-round while redispersing the sand back onto the harbor beaches.
