Schumer explained that the EPA should fund the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (USACE) approximately $9 million preferred project, designed over the past year, to construct a new barrier beach.  This breakwater will protect the bay from severe damages caused by Lake Ontario, which will make the bay more accessible to boaters, fishers, residents, and recreational users, all while better protecting the environment. Once hailed as a boater's paradise, local recreational boating has declined over the past decade as the bay has become increasingly too shallow to navigate; over the past decade the number of regular boaters has declined by roughly 300-350.</p>"}}
