A group appears to have made progress in its fight with a U.S. agency over plans to dredge a shipping channel as loggerhead turtles nest.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says it will participate in a deeper study on its dredging practices in Georgia and how it impacts the life of rare sea turtles.
In 2022, the group One Hundred Miles became vocal about a plan by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to dredge one million cubic yards of sea area from Georgia's Brunswick Harbor. This operation was set to take place as loggerhead sea turtles were nesting on the state's coastline. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers had been battling environmental groups since 2021 after it was learned that the Corps planned to dredge a shipping channel in the coastal area of Brunswick during the loggerhead turtle's nesting season.
The Southern Environmental Law Center said, “These limitations have protected sea turtles and other marine life for decades.”
