_The Evening Post_, 9 April 1925:
DREDGE MACHINERY
QUESTION OF PAYING DUTY
(BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
GISBORNE, This Day.
When the #dredge Korua, purchased from the Australian Government, was preparing to sail for New Zealand, the Federal Marine Authorities compelled the dismantlement of a portion of her machinery, which was brought over by cargo steamer. The New Zealand Customs Department have claimed duty on this, and the #Gisborne Harbour Board sought a refund. The board has now been informed that there is no means under the Customs Tariff by which the ladder and buckets can be admitted free of duty.

When we disturb the seabed, we get more #carbonDioxide and increase the risk of oxygen depletion
A new study from Aarhus University shows that disturbances of the seabed from #trawling equipment and #dredging can lead to a series of negative consequences for both the marine #environment and the global ecosystem.

Threats to #MangroveForests

"Unfortunately, there are many challenges that place mangrove forests under threat. Human impact such as #dredging, #filling, #WaterPollution from #herbicides and #development can lead to mangrove erosion and #HabitatDestruction. When mangrove forests are cleared and destroyed, they release massive amounts of #CarbonDioxide into the atmosphere, contributing to #ClimateChange."

– and this project can drastically change the natural flood cycles that sustain its rich #biodiversity.

But #ports are already being licensed along the #river, and a contract signed during Lula’s administration opens the way for #dredging.

According to President #Lula, the environmental emergency is already a reality in the country. And next year, #Brazil will host the #UnitedNations #ClimateChangeConference… it’s time for the country to lead by example.
