Dredging has started on the Batemans Bay Clyde River bar.

 Dredging has started on the Batemans Bay Clyde River bar. Beware of the tug and dredge and the floating pipeline.

The question is why is RMS (Transport for NSW) dumping the sand spoils in the middle of the Bay near the isolated danger mark which indicates a reef with its own ecosystem and fish. This will surely destroy this particular environment.
There are a number of groups who have not been consulted and are very unhappy by the decision to upset this balanced system by reintroducing disturbed sand into the bay. Where will it move to? Will the hole caused by the bar dredge be filled by sand from the Surfside and northern shore?
Why has the GHD study not produced the answers?
