Water Quality Environmentally-damaging Corps projects can harm water quality. The Apalachicola River Navigation project in Florida, Georgia and Alabama will destroy some of the area's most productive wetlands.
Wetlands act as natural filters for pollutants.
The Jackson Navigation Spur and Port Facility in Alabama will degrade 690 acres of wetlands which have been designated critical by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife. The White River Navigation Project in Arkansas will flush sediments downstream, blocking the outflow and drying up adjacent wetlands. All rights reserved.
