CG: Caution on Pascagoula River

PASCAGOULA, Miss. - The Coast Guard is advising mariners to exercise caution while transiting the Pascagoula River due to Army Corps of Engineers dredging operations. The vessel E. Stroud is currently conducting dredging operations north of the Highway 90 Bridge on the river. The dredging pipe is marked and illuminated at night and mariners are advised to stay within the marked channel. The dredge vessel is displaying lights and day shapes indicating the safe side for passage. Dredging operations are expected to take about two weeks, during which time the vessel can be contacted via VHF radio on channels 13 and 16.
