There are currently no live web cams for the Suez Canal, though several years ago in 2010, there was on established that had a live link online, and anyone could tune in and watch it. It has since been disconnected.
The main concerns are (a) the amount of traffic, and (b) the size of the vessels. The number of ships using the canal has dramatically increased in recent years - to the point where there is now a second adjacent channel. This reduces the chances of collision - and means ships can use the locks system both ways simultaneously. Additionally - the physical size of vessels wanting to use the canal has also increased - to the point that the channels have been widened and deepened to accommodate the larger vessels. Conversely - the environmental impact of the improvements has affected not only people living along the length of the canals, but also the local wildlife.
The Panama Canal is a waterway, partly dug and partly using natural formations.
