Time.news covered the Port Everglades fight in depth, tracing the roots of our concern to the PortMiami dredging disaster of 2013–2015 — when inadequate planning for sediment plumes smothered more than 270 acres of reef. Miami Waterkeeper Executive Director Rachel Silverstein spoke directly to the stakes: while the Army Corps appears more forthcoming this time around, serious concerns remain about whether the science and modeling are being handled correctly. The article also breaks down the project's scale — deepening the channel from 42 to 55 feet, widening it from 500 to 800 feet, at an estimated cost of $1.35 billion.
