• Great Lakes Invasion Spurs Call to Shut the Doors: ; Carp, Water Fleas, Quagga Mussels Hitching Rides On Cargo Ships

MILWAUKEE - For thousands of years, the Great Lakes were protected by Niagara Falls on the east and a subcontinental divide on the west. But those barriers to our grandest freshwater system were obliterated over the past century so that oceanic freighters could float in and Chicago sewage could float out. Unwanted species have been invading with tick-tock regularity ever since.

• Cargo Ships Have Slowed Down to Save On Fuel Costs

LOS ANGELES - On the high seas, full speed ahead is being replaced by slow and steady. Eager to cut fuel costs, ocean shipping lines have ordered their sea captains to throttle back the engines for what is quaintly known in the industry as "slow steaming." In some cases, freighters are taking as many as 15 days to make a Pacific crossing that used to take 11 days.

CASTINE, Maine -- Like so many veterans of World War II, James Wood and Lawrence Bartlett speak with pride as they recall their contributions to the American war effort nearly 70 years ago. Yet for decades, their own government did not recognize them and hundreds of thousands of other merchant mariners as veterans. Even today, few people hear about the merchant mariners who risked their lives -- and sometimes sacrificed them -- aboard the cargo ships that kept the Allied military forces supplied with ammunition, war materials, food and fresh troops.
