Description:Historically, hydraulic dredging in Maine has never been successful. Despite repeated attempts to start a commercial dredging operation by various individuals, none have survived. This could be partly due to a small subtidal clam resource or extreme variations of sandy sediment bottoms. In the spring of 1972, a fishing dragger was purchased for the use of a hydraulic dredge. This paper deals with the adapting of the Maryland hydraulic dredge to this vessel for successful use along the Maine coast.
