“The wide, soft sandy beaches after the dredge are more naturally beautiful and inviting than ever.”Īnd upon these fresh sands Ventura Harbor offers a wealth of recreational options to kick off Memorial Day weekend. “The contrast between the beach contour before and after the dredging is remarkable,” said Harbormaster John Higgins. Not only has this enhanced the harbor’s beaches off of Spinnaker Drive, but for nature and bird lovers, another benefit of the beach replenishment is the emergence of more nesting grounds, for endangered bird species such as the snowy plover. “On behalf of the Ventura Port District Board of Port Commissioners I would like to thank and recognize Congresswoman Brownley for her continued commitment to the Ventura Harbor dredging program” said Brian Pendleton, Deputy General Manager of Ventura Harbor. Utilizing the federal funds available to dredge in 2019 with the support of Congresswoman Julia Brownley’s office to insure federal funding approval, the dredge removed 470,000 cubic yards of sand from the Harbor’s entrance and sand trap area to the landside. The annual Ventura Harbor dredge efforts have significantly replenished the scenic harbor public beaches of both Surfers Knoll and Harbor Cove Beach with cleaner sands and more recreation space for harbor beachgoers this summer.
