Podcasts about Dredging

The September 19 edition of the AgNet News Hour wrapped up the week with powerful insights into California's most pressing issue: water. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill welcomed Edward Ring, Director of Energy and Water Policy at the California Policy Center, for what they called one of the program's “top powerhouse interviews.” The show opened with lighter conversation about the weekend ahead and then touched on national food issues, including McDonald's pledge of $200 million toward regenerative agriculture practices. Partnering with Cargill, Coca-Cola, and USDA, the company is funding projects aimed at improving rangelands and promoting more sustainable cattle production. While Josh and Nick joked about whether fast food could ever truly be “healthy,” they agreed that corporate investment in soil health and pasture resilience is a step in the right direction for agriculture. From there, the conversation turned to water, where Ring wasted no time laying out bold ideas. He argued that California's chronic shortages are not the result of climate change or drought trends, but of policy failures and regulatory overreach. “Water means everything,” Ring emphasized, noting that abundance leads to affordable crops, healthier cities, and stronger manufacturing. Among his proposed solutions: Dredging the Delta to restore deeper, cooler channels that would help salmon populations while allowing more efficient pumping of floodwaters. Forest management, thinning overcrowded stands to reduce fire risk and increase runoff by an estimated two million acre-feet annually. Desalination and wastewater reuse, powered by hydropower and even modular nuclear reactors. New and expanded reservoirs, including Sites, Shasta, and Temperance Flat, to capture rain and snowmelt during wet years. Ring also highlighted the political roadblocks, pointing out that California received $7 billion from a past water bond yet failed to build meaningful infrastructure. He believes federal investment, combined with private-sector innovation from Silicon Valley, could break the logjam if state leaders finally prioritize abundance over scarcity. For farmers in the San Joaquin Valley frustrated with half water allocations despite record rains, Ring's message was clear: the problem is manmade — and solvable.

Futureproof Clare (FPC), a grassroots environmental group active in Clare and the Shannon region, recently made a submission to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to object to the renewal of the Aughinish Alumina (AAL) dredging and dumping at sea licence. The EPA has granted a new licence to Russian-owned alumina refinery to extend its dredging operations around Foynes port and to dump dredged materials at a new dredging site near Foynes Island. The 10-year dredging and dumping at sea licence was granted by the EPA despite local objections from individuals and groups expressing concerns for the wellbeing of the Shannon Estuary. For more on this, Alan Morrissey was joined by Sinéad Sheehan, campaigner with Futureproof Clare.

The Sand Plan: guidelines that address a fact of life on the Columbia, and that's dredging Each year, the US Army Corps of Engineers dredges tons and tons (and tons) of sand out of the river to keep the ship channel open and navigable. We all rely on it to receive the goods we need to live our lives. It's also a huge economic driver for the region. But the dilemma remains: where to put all that sand? The agency, along with river ports, has drafted a docuoment called the Sand Plan, which will spell out where dredge spoils will go for the next 20 years. The public comment period is open now through early October. Regonal meetings and a virtual meeting are happening starting next week. Make your voice heard. Dredging can affect ecosystems, fish spawning grounds, and even enhance riparian conditions if properly handled. Get involved in an important process - creating a plan that attempts to balance the needs of all stakeholders in the river, including those (like wild creatures) who cannot speak for themselves. See a copy of the draft plan here: Draft DMMP-EIS on the USACE Digital Library Email comments here: LCR-CMP-DMMP@usace.army.mil (Please add “Draft DMMP-EIS” in the subject line of your email.)

This week, Bali-based reporter Febriana Firdaus explores how Indonesia has been affected by environmental damage from land reclamation projects put in place to bolster the country's tourism industry. Land is a premium for this country of 17-thousand islands. And so the country is expanding its buildable land by dumping sand into the water, negatively impacting the small scale fisheries who live and work nearby. Firdaus tells host Ruxandra Guidi how these projects are hurting fishers both in Bali where the sand is dumped and in far away Lombok, where the sand is mined. The Catch is going LIVE in New York City later this month. Come be a part of our live audience on September 26th at 4:30 pm at Rockefeller Center's Studio Gather to hear from experts and fishers on how protecting our oceans can benefit everyone.
