Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This request is for the dredging component of the Hudson Channel Project.  The Hudson Channel dredging will improve the access of the existing and future users.  This project has a broad level of support from all sectors (commercial and recreational) of the maritime community.  The preferred channel specification have been identified and have been determined to be generally permittable: a 40 foot bottom width, and a 50 foot top width; a depth of -5.0 MJW with one-foot of overdraft where not restricted by underlying rock; and a length of approximately 2.1 nautical miles (from channel marker #24 to #2).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Services Provided/Benefit to State:

 

 

 

 

 

Improve access of a 100 year old channel which is used by commercial fisherman from Tarpon Springs, Pinellas County, to Yankeetown, Levy County.  It is also used by recreational boaters.  Assist in the rejuvenation of commercial fishing industry in the area which has been hard hit by the net-ban amendment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

Accessibility of the Hudson Channel for commercial and recreational purposes.
