I don't even understand what "controls" means here? Are you talking about turning the Suez Canal into a filtered lock system able to hold Suezmax class ships (160,000 DWT)? Wouldn't the massive energy usage by pumping/filtering that much water (and the usage by the ship's idle engines while they wait) do more environmental damage than the invasive species?
- lolinder 5y agoI was thinking of a filtered lock system, and you're right that that's impractical for the Suez.
