For the second time this month, friends of Newport Harbor marched to city hall to protest against a potential new dredging project.
For the second time this month, the group"Friends of Newport Harbor" marched to city hall to protest against a potential new dredging project.
Officials said the harbor has to be dredge regularity to get rid of sediment that would otherwise stop boats and ships from moving through. While demonstrators said they agree with the dredging, they are worried about the potential environmental risks since it would go through their residential and recreational harbor.
This has been on the city council's radar since 2019 after mercury-tainted sediment was found near the turning basin and near Lido Peninsula. Newport Beach spokesperson John Pope said in an email that the dredging plan has to be analyzed and approved by multiple outside agencies. Additionally, the sediment must not be toxic or hazardous and any sediment will be contained in a system that stops material from making contact where boats, swimmers and wildlife go through.
The city council heard everyone's concerns Monday night but didn't stop the plan. Despite this, the Friends of Newport Harbor said their fight isn't over.
