DescCANADIAN BALLAST WATER - Transport Canada has proposed regulations that will prevent U.S.-flag ships on the Great Lakes from exporting American raw materials to Canada. The impact of the regulations, if implemented, will result in a Canadian monopoly on the cross-lake trade on the Great Lakes. It will have a significant impact on the revenue for U.S. flag lakers, and result in an economic win for Canadian-flag lakers. Lake Carriers Association(LCA) has hired lawyers and lobbyists in both U.S. and Canada to work the issue.Desc

DescICEBREAKER AND ICEBREAKING POLICY: In the past several Winters, the Great Lakes region lost over $1 billion in economic activity as a result of inadequate icebreakers. LCA has hired lobbyists to authorize and appropriate a new Great Lakes icebreaker for the Coast Guard. In addition, LCA's lobbyists are advocating for a new law to codify the Great Lakes icebreaking mission, set mission performance standards, and define the "resonable demands of commerce".Desc

DescWATER RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT ACT - The legislation that authorizes the Army Corps of Engineers' projects also sets funding targets for appropriators. LCA hired attorneys and federal lobbyists to better fund the Great Lakes navigation system and increase the spending targets from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund. This fund pays for operations and maintenance at coastal ports. Dredging, breakwall repairs, and lock maintenance are all paid for from the fund.Desc
