Roen Salvage Company got to work dredging the inner harbor in St. Joseph on Tuesday.
Dredging is done in the harbor every year to remove excess sediment from the river to ensure a clear pathway for marine travel. The material from the inner harbor in St. Joseph will be trucked to the airport, while the outer harbor sediment will be used to replenish Lions Park Beach.
Watch below as tugboat Stephan M. Asher shifts the dredge barge as operators remove sediment from the St. Joseph River:
