    U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mobile District contractors conduct beach restoration operations as part of the Harrison County Beach Resoration Project along the Mississippi Gulf Cost, Sept. 3, 2026. The project will restore approximately 1.9 million cubic yards of sand, followed by the installation of approximately 1.8 million native plants to establish a living dune system. The partnership between the Mobile District and Harrison County, Mississippi, is part of a long-term coastal restoration effort designed to reduce erosion, strengthen coastal resilience and restore areas damaged by Hurricane Katrina.

    A yellow Caterpillar (CAT) excavator, model 330, is operating on a sandy coastal construction site near a body of water. The machine is equipped with a clamshell/grapple bucket attachment and appears to be engaged in dredging or shoreline construction work. A rock jetty or breakwater is visible in the background along with navigational buoys.
    A large industrial pipe on a sandy beach is actively discharging a dark, viscous slurry or sediment mixture onto the shore. The material being expelled appears to be dark mud, silt, or possibly contaminated dredge material, forming a mound near the pipe's opening. The ocean is visible in the background under a clear sky, suggesting this may be a beach nourishment or dredging operation.

    A yellow Caterpillar (CAT) 330 excavator is actively working on a coastal beach site, moving dark sediment or debris near the waterline. An operator is visible inside the cab, and a seagull is captured mid-flight above the machine. The background reveals a calm body of water under a partly cloudy blue sky.
    A group of five construction or site safety personnel are gathered outdoors near a sandy beach environment, engaged in conversation. They are wearing high-visibility safety vests and hard hats, suggesting an active worksite inspection or briefing. A Polaris Ranger utility vehicle is visible in the background.
