Why all the expensive dredging?

For the last month or so there has been a dredging operation in and around the fisherman's dock in Deshaies Guadeloupe. A big barge with a mobile crane. A big spoil barge and a little pushboat tug. All in the company of a much larger tug. They have been at it for about 6 weeks and must have cost a fortune. Nobody knew what it was all in aid of as the actual interior was not dredged just the area around the entrance.

Well today it was all made clear.

I suppose the T shirt sellers will be happy.
