Dredging

Three Mile Harbor

The Trustees are currently managing environmental dredging projects in several local water bodies, this effort is being led by two distinct Committee. One Committee, consisting of Deputy Clerk Jim Grimes and Trustees Patrice Dalton and Trustee Tim Garneau, will handle dredging in most of the Trustee’s dredging projects.

A second Dredging Committee has been set up to handle the dredging in Napeague Harbor. The goal has been to re-open the East Inlet to get better water circulation in Napeague Harbor. That Committee consists of Francis Bock, Trustee Clerk and Jim Grimes and John Aldred, both Deputy Clerks.

Improving water exchange between creeks and open water bodies lowers water temperatures and adjusts salinity levels which can be particularly valuable when addressing issues like toxic blue green algae.

Fresh Pond in Amagansett, Accabonac Harbor inlet, the Gerard Drive Culvert, and Georgica Pond are examples of Trustee water bodies that have active environmental dredging projects. Little Northwest Creek in Sag Harbor Village was dredged by the Trustees a few years ago.
