• Dredge Project Turns Tide on Channel Depth Near Kinsey Cove (thesandpaper.net) — Boaters in Beach Haven West should know that a major state dredging project is restoring the Beach Haven West Mill Creek channel and nearby waterways to safer depths, with work running 24/7 through December. A submerged pipeline is moving dredged material, so mariners are urged to stay in marked channels, use slow or no‑wake speeds near equipment, and only cross where signs and buoys indicate.
