Thanks for your question.
Let me clear that for an organization like ours litigation is always the last straw. It's not a desired strategy, in part because of the costs associated with it. Given the significant dependence that would be placed on the common law, under the changes proposed to the Navigable Waters Protection Act, this affects not only public interest groups per se, but also citizens and small businesses that rely on navigation. They may find themselves left only with that option of protecting their rights to navigation.
