Keeping Berwick Bay open

The Review/Bill Decker
This Orion Co. dredge goes to work Wednesday along the Morgan City wharf, continuing unprecedented efforts to keep the Port of Morgan City channel open. The dredge will work in the bay and then move on to other local projects, including Tidewater Point, Stouts Pass and the Calumet Cut, port Executive Director Raymond "Mac" Wade said. Meanwhile, three dredges are at work in the channel closer to the Gulf to maintain the current authorized depth of 20 feet all the way to the sea buoy. "The channel is in the best shape it's ever been," Wade said.
