The sand pumping restoration in Delray Beach, Florida begins

Sand and dredging equipment Pumping sand

The beach restoration in Delray Beach Florida was mentioned earlier this month as the equipment arrived. Each beach walk we see “some” progress until this past week most of the equipment just sat behind the fenced off area.

Now the huge dredging barge was “tugged” to where the pipe ends offshore and anchored in place. Immediately work began and by the time we walked behind the work area, they were pumping sand for the Delray Beach renourishment project. Darker sand is building and the water all along the shore to the south has been clouded with sand. We are curious how long it will take and how quickly the equipment move south along the shoreline?
