		The combined ports of New York and New Jersey are one of the most heavily used transportation arteries in the world, handling nearly 40% of the North Atlantic shipping trade.
		Also, an estimated 40% of the bottom surface area in the harbor is continually dredged for navigation purposes, Therefore, the inner harbor acts as a giant settling tank where most of the sediments carried down by the rivers settle to the bottom.
		The present major problem faced by New York Harbor is as clear an indication of the capacity of nature to "bite back" as the hole in the ozone layer and the first manifestations of global warming.
