Deganwy Marina dredging about to begin

The dredging operations at Deganwy Marina are set to begin on November 1, North Wales Cruising Club said.

This dredging program will be underway for two months.

Deganwy is situated on the North Wales coast, at the mouth of the River Conwy where siltation is a major problem.

The marina is inundated every year with 6,000m3 of sediment which raises the bed by up to 30cm.

Deganwy Marina has been granted a licence by Natural Resources Wales to dredge up to 7,000m3 of silt per year.
