摘要：	As the Gulf Intracoastal Canal Association (GICA) points out on its website, the association was formed in 1905, decades before there was even an identified body of water or waterway system in place. Instead, there was a network of interested and far-seeing citizens who saw the importance of waterbome trade to the region and promoted it. Other waterways, including the Mississippi River, had their own networks of champions and advocates that brought about physical improvements, with members often working in obscurity for years or decades before necessary changes were made, laws passed and funds appropriated. As Paul Dittman, the current head of GICA, points out in this week's issue, the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway is really managed by a network of closely cooperating public and private interests and bodies. Coordination and effective communication between GICA and other federal and state agencies-including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Coast Guard, state departments of transportation, commercial railroads and local officials-"is the critical success factor to effectively manage such a complex waterway to minimize supply chain impacts," Dittman said.
