Item 1.                                   Security and Issuer.

The class of equity security to which this statement relates is the Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).  The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 2122 York Road, Oak Brook, Illinois 60523.

Item 2.                                   Identity and Background.

This Statement is being filed by Mr. Leight.  The business address of Mr. Leight is c/o Terrapin Partners, LLC, 540 Madison Avenue, 17th Floor, New York, New York 10022.  Mr. Leight is the co-founder and a managing member of Terrapin Partners LLC (including its affiliates), a co-founder and a managing member of Terrapin Asset Management, LLC (including its affiliates), and a co-founder and a managing member of TWF Management Company, LLC (including its affiliates).  Each is a private investment firm.  Mr. Leight is also a director of the Company and the chairman of the board of directors of Aldabra 2 Acquisition Corp (AMEX: AII.U, AII, AII.WS).

During the past five years, Mr. Leight has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

During the past five years, Mr. Leight has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction which resulted in Mr. Leight being subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Mr. Leight is a citizen of the United States.

Item 3.                                   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

On July 17, 2007, Terrapin Partners LLC distributed 786,000 shares of Common Stock to Mr. Leight and one of his family trusts, and the remainder to Jason Weiss (the “Distribution”).

Prior to the Distribution, all of the 1,572,000 warrants to purchase Common Stock held by Terrapin Partners LLC were deemed beneficially owned by Mr. Leight.  However, following the Distribution, Mr. Leight’s beneficial ownership decreased by 786,000 - the number of shares distributed to Mr. Weiss.  Because of the Distribution, Mr. Leight is no longer deemed to beneficially own more than 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock, and is no longer required to file a Schedule 13D with the Commission.

Item 4.                                   Purpose of Transaction.

(i)                                     A class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or

(j)                                     Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5.                                   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a)-(b)               Mr. Leight beneficially owns 1,819,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”), which amount includes 1,362,750 shares held by Mr. Leight, 367,250 shares held by the Leight Family 1998 Irrevocable Trust, 33,000 shares held by Mr. Leight’s wife, Ms. Elizabeth Leight, 4,000 shares held by various family trusts and 52,000 shares held by Terrapin Partners Employee Partnership.  Mr. Leight beneficially owns approximately 3.1% of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock.  Mr. Leight has sole dispositive and voting power over 1,734,000 shares of Common Stock.  Mr. Leight has shared dispositive and voting power over the 52,000 shares of Common Stock held by Terrapin Partners Employee Partnership, and may also be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over the 33,000 shares of Common Stock held by Ms. Leight.  Mr. Leight expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

All of the percentages calculated in this Schedule 13D/A are based upon an aggregate of 58,459,824 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 1, 2007.

(c)                                  Except for the transaction described herein, there have been no other transactions in the securities of the Company effected by Mr. Leight in the last 60 days.

 (d)                              To Mr. Leight’s knowledge, except as set forth herein, no other persons have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares.

(e)                                  July 17, 2007.




Item 6.                                   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The Company and certain former Aldabra stockholders, including Mr. Leight, and certain other stockholders of the Company entered into an investor rights agreement on December 26, 2006. The investor rights agreement provides for certain registration rights with respect to shares held by the former Aldabra stockholders, including Mr. Leight, who are party to the investor rights agreements (the “Aldabra Registrable Securities”). After February 17, 2008, holders of at least a majority of Aldabra Registrable Securities will have the right to demand registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their registrable securities subject to certain amount and time limitations. Holders of the Aldabra Registrable Securities may demand one long-form registration and one short-form registration. Additionally, whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of registrable securities, holders of Aldabra Registrable Securities will have the right to request the inclusion of their registrable securities in such registration. The investor rights agreement prohibits a public sale by any person of any registrable securities or equity securities of the Company during the seven days prior and the 90 days after the effectiveness of any underwritten public offering, except as part of such offering or as otherwise permitted by the Company.

The investor rights agreement is incorporated by reference in Exhibit A hereto.

All of the shares of Common Stock that were issued to the founders of Aldabra, including Mr. Leight, in exchange for their Aldabra common stock that was issued prior to Aldabra’s initial public offering, were placed in escrow with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as escrow agent, until the earliest of: (i) February 17, 2008 or (ii) the consummation of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of Common Stock for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the Company consummating a business combination with a target business.

During the escrow period, these shares cannot be sold, but the holders of these shares will retain all other rights as stockholders, including, without limitation, the right to vote their shares of Common Stock and the right to receive cash dividends, if declared. If dividends are declared and payable in shares of Common Stock, such dividends will also be placed in escrow.

The escrow agreement is incorporated by reference in Exhibit B hereto.

Except for the investor rights agreement and the escrow agreement described above, to the best knowledge of Mr. Leight, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between himself and any other person, with respect to any securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option agreements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, divisions of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.

Item 7.                                   Material to be filed as Exhibits.
