Dredging

Dredging took place from 2006 through 2009, costing $18 million and removing 2,000,000 cubic feet (57,000 m³) of muck from the bottom of the St. Sebastian River. The muck consisted of silt, clay, sand, shell and organic material, which consumed oxygen and threatened the life of aquatic species.^[2]
