Lawmakers in Michigan are looking for a quick way to reverse water losses in the Great Lakes.

Those actions triggered an erosion problem which is now allowing significant amounts of water to escape the lake system.

Northrop Grumman announced its intention to compete for the contract to develop the USCG's Nationwide Automatic Identification System (NAIS), a two-way digital communication system. The system will transmit vessel location, identity, speed, location, course, destination and other information continuously. The NAIS project will allow the Coast Guard to identify vessels while they are still hundreds of miles offshore, and is expected to improve safety, navigation, security, search and rescue services and environmental protection capabilities.

A mechanic in New Zealand has developed a hover craft with extendable wings that can fly at an operating height of 4.5 feet above the water level when it reaches its top speed of 60 mph.

In addition to the pilot, the hovercraft can seat one other [lucky/brave/stupid] individual.
