Abstract
The legal issues pertinent to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway center around the Federal requirements for local sponsorship. These requirements, recent environmental legislation, and the lack of a designated "local sponsor" for much of the main channel of the waterway have combined to place in jeopardy the continued maintenance of the canal.
