Dredging operations are moving from Barnegat Bay to the Harvey Cedar area and will start in a few days!

The pipeline is marked with lit pencil buoys, orange Norwegian buoys and channel marker crossing buoys. Boaters are urged to utilize extreme caution and SLOW/No Wake Speeds when operating through the construction zone and should stay away from all floating equipment. Pipelines can be difficult to see and may traverse areas outside of marked channels traditionally used by local boaters. Please utilize the marked crossings to proceed over the pipeline. This map is an approximation and is not to be utilized for navigation.

The public is advised to use channel 63 to contact the equipment, as necessary.

Happy Weekend, Boaters! We encourage everyone to stay alert and watch for buoys, markings, and channel crossings on the water. Use marked crossings only. Proceed with caution when you notice a change in signage and you see dredging equipment and construction equipment on the water.

Please use Slow/No Wake speeds around active construction on the water.
