The onset of the marine deaths coincided with this dredging campaign. Taking place last autumn, almost 150,000 tonnes of sediment has been displaced from the Tees estuary as part of the project. Teesport’s shipping canal has been widened and deepened and the South Bank quay is being reconstructed.
To facilitate this, the region’s major sea port is undergoing redevelopment. The region will play a key role in the government’s Levelling Up programme and Clean Growth Strategy, including hosting the UK’s first hydrogen transport hub. The redevelopment of TeessideĪs one of the UK’s industrial heartlands, Teesside has been designated as a special economic zone, or freeport. It became clear to me that pyridine may have played a major role in the death of these animals. Using standard ecotoxicology methods, my research involved monitoring the behaviour, physiology and survival of the crustaceans in carefully controlled pyridine solutions. I took part in efforts to determine what actually happened and whether pyridine could have caused the death of these crabs and lobsters. Having a channel wide and deep enough for two-way traffic for ultra-large container ships will give Virginia a competitive edge.Attempts to understand what caused these deaths has set traditional coastal industries on a collision course with the region’s green growth aspirations.
It also had the support of elected officials on the state and federal level. Army Corps of Engineers to secure a final early approval, the Port of Virginia wrote in its announcement.
“The container ships are getting bigger and require more water depth to safely operate and we are committed to working with our customers to meet their needs today, tomorrow and decades from now.” Reinhart, CEO and executive director of the Virginia Port Authority. “This project, combined with all of the investments we are making at our terminals, tells the ocean carriers ‘We are ready for your big ships,'” said John F. The dredging will deepen the western side of Thimble Shoal Channel, which leads into Norfolk Harbor, to 56 feet. The Port of Virginia announced Monday that dredging began Sunday in an effort to make the port the deepest on the East Coast. (WAVY) - Dredging at the Port of Virginia has started nearly two-and-a-half years early.
