Watch out! Sounds like they are going to use this so called study to say that while dredgers removd large amounts of Hg they reintroduced larger amounts back into the water. Study to be finished just in time for the May 1st dredging trials and with false information be used against the miners.

Wait, so I was reading the thread about the major landslide that sadly killed 3 people. One post mentioned that it's going to be killing fish eggs. If dredging is "supposed" to kill fish and what not, Mother Nature does the same right? So really dredging shouldn't be doing as much damage right?
