In this Feb. 21, 2019 photo, Army Corps of Engineers scientists drift in a boat toward a plume of red dye in the Savannah River, Ga., as they test large machines designed to boost oxygen levels in the river. The oxygen-injection stations are part of a $973 million project to deepen the busy shipping channel linking the Port of Savannah to the Atlantic Ocean. The machines are intended to replenish an expected drop in the river's levels of dissolved oxygen, which fish need to breathe. A 2013 court settlement requires the Army Corps to test the machines and show that they work before dredging can begin on the upriver half of the project.
