With respect to tourism, this fish will NOT bring any tourism to the region affected. This is a bottom dwelling fish with fewer than three known captures in the past 8 years. Why would removing dams, which do not affect the natural beauty of the Alabama River they add to it and add to the regional economy. To say this dam has had a 'negligible' economic impact is ignorance to the flood control they provide to the people downstream of them and the recreation the resulting lake creates. In addition, if the Claiborne Lock and Dam is removed as the previous comment desires the tourism industry will take a substantial reduction, with the Army Corps of Engineers no longer providing the maintenance on the project's 11 developed areas. Finally, a single barge takes 60 semi trucks off the road, so ask yourself 60 trucks or one barge.
