The County Dredge program started in 1996 with the purchase of the first cutterhead suction dredge Cod Fish I which was in service for most of the program’s years. The Sand Shifter was added in 2017 followed by the Cod Fish II in 2019, both of which are cutterhead suction dredges. Demand for dredging on Cape Cod has increased in recent years due to climate change implications and the availability of additional state grant funding for projects. The dredging “season” typically runs from September to mid-June, and is subject to time of year restrictions, ranging from protecting winter flounder to piping plovers as well as summer tourism.
