GLIN==> GLMTF Reports Progress in Lakes Dredging Crisis, But More Needed

Great Lakes Maritime Task Force has released its 2008 Annual Report
which highlights the progress made on the Lakes dredging crisis last
year.  However, while increased funding for the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers dredging on the Lakes did allow for some of the backlog to be
removed in FY08, some 17 million cubic yards of sediment still clog the
Great Lakes Navigation System.  It will take years of increased funding
to restore the system to project dimensions.

 

See attached news release and Annual Report for more details.
