When we talk about building bigger and better, and what we need to do.... In certain instances, some harbours have been years without dredging. As long as these storms keep coming, those harbours are going to keep filling in. Those entrances are going to fill in. Passage in and out of the harbours, which are safe refuges, will be deemed impossible. Dredging projects have to happen.
Breakwaters that have suffered through these storms and lost some of their armour stone have to be built bigger and better. The wharf structures and pilings have to be changed. All of this aging stuff that's taken a back seat has to be repaired.
Dredging projects are of the essence. P.E.I. is a perfect example. A lot of those harbours are probably going to need dredging projects completed before the spring fishery. Is the time there? Are the resources there?
