According to the City, “this effort was made possible through collaboration with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Oxnard Harbor District, the County of Ventura and the City of Port Hueneme.”

As part of the mid-cycle dredging work, approximately 1,450,000 cubic yards of sand were placed onto Hueneme Beach to restore the shoreline, improve coastal storm protection, and support long term beach and promenade resilience.

During dredging operations, portions of the beach and promenade were temporarily impacted to allow heavy equipment to safely access the project area.
