Floating Dock Construction at Musgrave Harbour
Official title: Floating Dock construction, Musgrave Harbour, NL
Fisheries and Oceans Canada wants to build a new floating dock at their Small Craft Harbours site in Musgrave Harbour, Newfoundland. The project includes a timber crib foundation, a gangway connecting to the floating dock, and secure anchoring.
Why This Matters
If you fish out of Musgrave Harbour, this dock could affect where you tie up your boat. Local residents may see construction activity in the harbour area.
What Could Change
A new floating dock with timber crib foundation would be installed at the DFO site. This expands harbour infrastructure for small craft in the community.
Key Issues
- Should the floating dock construction proceed at this location?
- What are the potential environmental impacts of the timber crib foundation?
