The first three images are of a dredge operation in Packery Channel. The fourth image is a dredge operation in the ship channel crossing Corpus Christi Bay. The last image is a shrimp boat passing a barge.

Fantastic set of images!!! Dan
Where is the dredged sand going and how is it getting there.
I used to work for a company that supplied polyethylene pipe for moving the sand and floats to support the pipe.
The majority of the operations we supplied were on rivers .

The Packery Channel operation is pumping the sand onto the beach about a half mile away. I'm not sure where the sand is going in the Corpus Christi bay operation.

Saw an Army Corp of Engineers dredge in Vietnam. Had a huge sign “DANGER Hypo-Cycloidal Propellers” Asked the Captain what it meant. His reply was it was there just to scare the Vietnamese away.
