Canals link between bodies of water; improveaccess, communication, and transportation; and thereby increase business. For example, the Erie Canal of New York State links all of the shipping and stopping points of Lake Erie with those of the Hudson River. When it started up operations, the Canal made it possible for businesses to more than double their range of activities. For businesses that previously operated only by way of the Hudson River had clear, convenient access to Lake Erie, and vice versa. Likewise, the Panama Canal of Latin America links all of the shipping and stopping points along the Atlantic and Caribbean Coastlines of the United States with those along the country's Pacific coastlines.
