Dredging will be done in Fire Island Inlet & Long Island from 1 February until approximately 30 April 2013. The hours of operation will be 7 days a
week, 24 hours a day. A submerged pipeline will be placed from the west end of Fire Island and ending on Cedar Beach. On scene will be a
dredge, booster, floating pontoon barges & derricks. The dredge operator will be monitoring VNF-FM channels 13 & 16. Traffic should call 30
minutes prior to passage. The dredge and floating pipeline are held in place by cables and anchors which are some distance away from the
equipment. Buoys are attached to the anchors. Mariners are requested to comply with the Rules of the Road and to remain a safe distance away
from the equipment. Any fishing equipment in the area should be removed prior to the work begins.

Just saw the article on that yesterday, good news that they are doing it! According to the Coast Guard the inlet was even worse after Sandy than before.
 
I just saw a report on this on channel 7 news sounds like a big project.
