I don't know of any govt. dredging for private marinas (none that I have
ever visited), only for public ports that import/export cargo ships use.

Dams: built to generate power, primarily. Low cost hydro power. Not for
boaters.

You benefit from the dredging, you benefit from the dams. Are you
claiming that you shouldn't have to pay just because "they would be
there anyway"? That's a mighty familiar argument.
