All actions for penalties and forfeitures imposed in this chapter, or for damages, on behalf of the state including the corporation, shall be prosecuted in the name of the corporation, by the corporation, unless otherwise specifically provided. All money recovered in such actions shall be accounted for and paid into the canal fund. The imposition or recovery of any such penalty or forfeiture shall not be a bar to recovery of any damages resulting to the corporation or any person, because of such violation.
