Dredging underway at Rye Boat Ramp

Dredging is underway at Rye Boat Ramp, VIC, Australia, to provide better access for boaters on the peninsula.

Thanks to the boating registration and license fees, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council recently scored a grant to dredge at Rye and Mornington’s Fishermans Beach.

According to the Better Boating Victoria, a cutter section dredge is in action at Rye removing sediment from the boat ramp. They’re expecting the process will take a couple of weeks.

The sand is deposited onto the beach through large pipes before being used to renourish the beach along the nearby shoreline.
