been low as far as I know. The shipping lanes will be fine for boaters for sure, regardless it might affecting shipping as they need a much larger draft. From what I gather its not dredging, its what they decide farther up river and how much water they let in and out, and that goes off of rain fall.

no dredging of the channel happened. the channel has to be 88ft or more. last i heard the level is up about 1foot 6 inches from fall but still drastically low.
