The long-awaited dredging of the Swansea Channel will commence this month, with the first stage due to be complete in time for this year's boating season.
Dredging will extend from the Pelican Foreshore in the south, including the channels south-west and east of Elizabeth Island. The project will clear about 30,000 cubic metres of sand from the channel to create a 30 metre safe passage for vessels up to 2.5 metres of draft.
