Running aground

Article Abstract:

The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway is a 1200-mile long collection of rivers, inlets and man-made canals stretching from Norfolk, Virginia to Miami and is designed to give commercial, military and recreational boats shelter from the unforgiving sea. The federal law requires the waterway channel to be dredged to a low-tide depth of 12 feet to allow commercial traffic but in most places the controlling depth of the waterway is less than 8 feet leading to the choking of the waterway.
