Dredging of the Oyster Creek Channel in Barnegat Bay, just north of Barnegat Inlet, is about halfway done and is expected to be completed this month, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Barnegat Bay Dredging is performing the work, which began in late November, Steve Rochette, public affairs officer for the Army Corps, Philadelphia District, said recently. The Harvey Cedars-based company is using the dredge Fullerton, he added.
