TCAP-II aims to reduce Tuvalu’s vulnerability to the adverse impacts of flooding, shoreline erosion, and rising sea levels along the southern lagoon shoreline of Fogafale Island, housing around half of Tuvalu’s 12,000 population. The project aims to protect 800 meters of vulnerable shoreline on the capital, as well as reclaim approximately eight hectares of new, safe, raised land. If all goes according to schedule, the phase 2 of the Tuvalu Coastal Adaptation Project will be completed by the end of August 2025, with a full handover to Government by mid-2026.

The material will be dredged from nearby dredge cuts, barged to the Port Authority transfer site, unloaded directly from barges into dump trucks, and then hauled two miles to the site. Dredged material is to be placed mechanically on the Badger site over a two-to-three-week period each year starting in spring 2025 for approximately five years or until the 100,000 cubic yard need is met. The sand will be beneficially used by Fastenal Company for construction of a warehouse. The deadline for sending comments on the proposed project in Winona County is April 27, 2025.

Consortium Mekante Diek (Ploegam, Van Oord, Dura Vermeer) is carrying out this dyke reinforcement commissioned by Rivierenland Water Board. It is the first large-scale construction project in the Netherlands to be completed using almost entirely electric equipment. The project saves over 1,190 tonnes of CO₂ and 3,260 kg of nitrogen (NOx) per year, equivalent to what 59,500 trees can absorb in a year. 100% green electricity is used to charge the equipment, 90% of which comes directly from wind turbines, preventing grid congestion. With some 40 machines equipped with mostly interchangeable, rechargeable battery packs and the creation of WattHub, Europe’s first XL fast charging plaza, the project sets a new standard for sustainable construction, Van Oord said.

The purpose of study is to determine the most optimal way to efficiently reduce the risk <a></a>of future coastal storm damages in the study area driven by flooding, erosion, and wave attack, along with the effects of future sea level rise and tidal flooding. According to USACE, these hazards threaten infrastructure and public safety in the City’s municipal boundary from the surrounding rivers and waterways and reduce the environmental quality of the adjacent waters and wetlands.

The mechanical dredging involves removing accumulated sand and silt, which contributes to shallow water levels and hinders boat anchoring and navigation. Maintaining proper depths in the harbor ensures continued accessibility and functionality for boaters and other recreational users, the Town said. This initiative is part of the Town’s ongoing efforts to maintain the harbor’s function and safety. Dredging operation will begin at the entry of the harbor to allow for the safe return of the Coast Guard. Additional dredging will be conducted, as required throughout the summer season to maintain depth.

This week, the POLB Board of Harbor Commissioners will consider the same agreement for approval and execution. Meanwhile, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is reviewing the final draft of the plans and specs so it can go out to bid. Things are still tracking for dredging to begin in late spring or early summer.

This work is part of the $15 million package recently announced by the Victorian Government to address coastal erosion and access issues along the coast of Victoria. This DEECA project will help protect the foreshore, beach, coastal vegetation, and infrastructure from further erosion over the predicted Easter tides. The works involve constructing a stepped rock bag wall, extending 150 metres eastward from the existing rock wall. Rock bags are now being prepared off site and the main work onsite the beach will begin on7 April 2025. DEECA and Council said that their priority is to have the work completed prior to the predicted Easter tides.

The phase is estimated to cost $150,000 and will be funded by The Mississippi Outdoor Stewardship Trust. According to Hancock Chamber of Commerce, the program will add one side pier with a kayak launch and will involve a small amount of dredging work. “This is going to be very nice for those who like to kayak, fish or just kayak and enjoy the waterways,” said Gene Hoffman, Ward 2 city councilman in Bay St. Louis. He also added that phase two will only take about four weeks to complete, finishing just in time for summer. The overall cost of the project is now up to approximately $1.4 million.

These are small-sized dredgers with a high dredging depth, which can dredge up to over 200 meters deep. Thanks to their high maneuverability and advanced control systems, DRH dredgers are ideal for dredging operations in difficult-to-access places, such as mining basins and artificial reservoirs. They are dredgers that are easy to transport and assemble, characteristics that make them able to reach even the most remote places.

According to the latest update, “dredging operations at the Daintree River Ferry crossing will commence at 10 PM on Sunday, 6 April 2025. These operations will continue for four nights, from 10 PM to 5 AM each night.” The ferry will maintain its regular operating hours, though short delays are expected between 10 PM and midnight, the council said. Dredging is necessary to ensure the continuation of ferry services during low tides, as sand buildup from flooding can impede operations, the council officials concluded.
