Charleston shrinking the anchorage?

http://www.postandcourier.com/news/2010/oct/31/plan-adds-40-boat-slips/

Apparently, the Megadock isn't mega enough and the City Marina is looking at adding slips instead of dealing with a shoaling issue they have. In order to add these slips, the Coast Guard is recommending moving the current channel into the existing anchorage, taking away from the small space that cruiser's currently have available to them. I know that when we passed through Charleston it was tough to find a good spot in the anchorage (with the derelict boats, the reversing currents and the long scopes you had to use). I can't even imagine what will be left that would be useful if they shrink it!
