The Florence Renourishment Project – Phase III, located in Emerald Isle, NC, is moving forward according to schedule.

Town of Emerald Isle has just released this interesting video, highlighting the dredging works in the western part of the town on March 4, 2021.

“Everyone is reminded to respect the project boundary lines, and to not walk or drive on the new dunes as the work progresses,” the Town said in their latest project update.
