I will say this. This is so duplicative and ridiculous. It is typical government regulation. Here you have an inland waterway, the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The seagrass removal has been already mitigated. That requires maintenance. As you do maintenance, you have to come back and do more mitigation on the exact same piece of property for the same seagrass. It is ridiculous; it is duplicative; and I submit it is a good amendment.

Thank you for your answer. I am hoping that there is also coming with that nine necessary vessels some sort of timeline.
I expect you and Admiral Allan to clearly articulate how you will acquire these vessels and what resources are required to carry out the Coast Guard's polar mission.
At the same time, our nation has two operational icebreakers, one of which is dedicated to the Service's Antarctic mission in support of the National Science Foundation and is operating well past its intended service life.
