Time to turn the page. GLDD calendar for July 2024 features the South Boca Raton beach nourishment project—a collaborative effort in 2023 between the City of Boca Raton, the City of Deerfield Beach, and the Town of Hillsboro Beach, Florida. This project was an ASBPA "Best Restored Beach" awardee. In this photo, our 312-foot Cutter Suction Dredge Alaska is pumping beneficial use material (sand) from the Boca Raton inlet ebb shoal and strategically placing the dredged material onto the beach to help offset long-term beach erosion. Also shown are four team members from the Alaska day shift crew: Mateo Lopez; Jesus Zamarripa “Sultan”; Cesar Garza “Romo”; and Joshua Stewart “Big Man” who used their man overboard training to rescue two jet skiers who fell into the water and even with life jackets were having difficulty staying afloat. Many thanks to our quick-thinking team members! View Our Calendar here: https://bit.ly/3R4YwFa

Today is World Hydrography Day and GLDD celebrates the achievement and contribution of hydrographers worldwide! Hydrography is the science that measures and describes the physical features of bodies of water and adjacent land areas. Hydrography is a critical part of the dredging industry that allows us to properly plan and oversee the work we do on the ocean floor. Modern day dredging wouldn’t be possible without hydrographers who collect our hydrographic survey data. Pictured below, hydro survey vessel Pearl River is part of the GLDD survey fleet featuring multibeam and single beam capability for safely working offshore coastal projects.

Sponsorship provided by the Greater Houston Port Bureau, HDR, Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Company, LLC, Port Of Freeport, Shell. Panama and Texas established a ”Strategic Partnership" since the expansion of the canal’s impact in regions across Texas, making the access of goods to the regions of Texas easier and more competitive. The relationship has been accelerated by the USPA and Panama. In April of 2023 a “Texas Triangle” trade mission was organized with Panamanian business leaders visiting the Upper Gulf Coast Region (Houston), South Texas Region (San Antonio), Central Texas Region (Austin) and North Texas Region (Dallas/Fort Worth).
