Greetings! 

 

The dredging of the entrance to Rock Hall Harbor has started. The work will not interfere with the normal use of the harbor and will restore an 8 ft. mean low water depth. This work will make Rock Hall Harbor safely accessible to most commercial and recreational vessels. CBYRA wishes safe sailing to all!
