If you believe, as we do, that our society
can have both economic development and protection for our ecology,
then you should be interested in what our Association is doing.
If you consider any of the following to be true:
- Economic development should be carried
out with the environment in mind;
- Waterways should be developed for human
activity with a balanced, reasonable approach and understanding
of the costs involved;
- Barges are the safest, most efficient,
most environmentally friendly of all modes of transportation
- Our rivers provide opportunities across
a wide spectrum of activities,
then this site is for you.
