• Long-awaited harbor dredging to start in July (coastalobserver.com) — Dredging of Georgetown harbor is set to begin in early July, restoring the channel to a 12-foot depth from the entrance past Harborwalk, the steel mill, and the bypass channel. Funded with $6.5 million in federal money, the long-awaited project should take a few months and could significantly improve navigation and economic activity along Georgetown’s waterfront.
   

• UPDATE: Beach hazards statement affecting Myrtle Beach area and Coastal Georgetown Tuesday (thestate.com) — Beachgoers in Coastal Georgetown face a National Weather Service beach hazards statement today from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Strong south-to-north longshore currents could sweep swimmers toward rip currents, piers, and jetties, so officials urge checking with lifeguards and using extra caution before getting in the water.
