Dredging work on the emergency ferry channel between Stumpy Point and Rodanthe, North Carolina, is about 50% complete as part of proactive measures to ensure navigation safety before hurricane season. The project addresses shoaling issues in Rodanthe Harbor, with plans to use the local hopper dredge Miss Katie, and is funded by the state's Shallow Draft Navigation Channel Dredging and Aquatic Weed Fund. Authorities aim to secure necessary permits by July to maintain ferry access.
