Fishy Tales from Coventry, Connecticut Officials Withdraw State Record Status As Catfish Was Eaten........
Officials with the Connecticut Fish and Wildlife agency announced that they were rescinding the state record designation of a white catfish as the evidence had eaten before it could be examined.
State Fish and Wildlife says that without examining the actual fish, identification was limited to photos and video, which were somewhat ambiguous and inconclusive in positively identifying the catfish's species. They added that they are not disputing the fish's weight.
25 year old Ben Tomkunas of Coventry, Connecticut caught the 21.3 pound catfish and gave it to his grandfather, who ate it. He states that he is shocked that state officials are rescinding the record designation........

News Release From BoatUS
SPRINGFIELD,
Va., Sept. 27, 2021 – Recreational boat owners are preparing
their boats for a long winter’s nap, but sugarplums aren’t
dancing in their heads. What may keep them up at night is hoping
cold temperatures won’t damage their boats. Freshwater expands
in volume by about 9% when it freezes and can push outward with
a force of tens of thousands of pounds per square inch, cracking
engine blocks, damaging fiberglass, splitting hoses and
waterlines, and destroying refrigeration systems. Boat Owners
Association of The United States’
(BoatUS) marine insurance provider, GEICO, shares that
boaters often don’t become aware of the damage until springtime.

Missouri River Near Easley, Missouri Missouri River Relief Celebrating 20 Years of Linking People To The River........
Missouri River Relief had rather humble beginnings, starting off with a Missouri RIver cleanup at Easley, Missouri on October 6, 2001. Steve Schnarr was there and looks back at the camaraderie amongst the 400 volunteers.
Following that cleanup, Missouri RIver Relief sprang into existence. The not-for-profit organization was dedicated to connecting the public with the Missouri River. Schnarr is the director of the organization.
Missouri River Relief is celebrating their 20th anniversary and since it's founding, the organization has collected 1,000 tons, or 2 million pounds of trash from the Missouri River........

The Rebuild Illinois capital improvements program is investing $40 million into the development of a large river port along the Mississippi River at Cairo, Illinois.
Larry Klein, chairman of the Alexander Cairo Port District says that the project is bringing hope to the region. The port development project has been in the development stages for at least a decade and now the state has provided funding for the project.
Approximately eighty percent of the barge traffic in the United States passes by or through the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and being located at that confluence, Cairo is seen as a natural location for a river port........

Added Sunday Mississippi River Near Baton Rouge, Louisiana Judge Dismisses Parts of Bonnet Carre Lawsuits........
On September 13th, a federal judge in Mississippi ruled that in two separate lawsuits, his court did not have the authority to order the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to conduct an environmental review after opening the Bonnet Carre Spillway.
U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola Jr. dismissed a part of the suit filed by the state of Mississippi alleging that the Corps caused damage to the Mississippi Sound by operating the spillway. He also dismissed part of a second suit filed by Gulf Coast counties, cities and organizations. The judge did leave part of the second suit standing, which alleges violations of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act.
The Corps opens the Bonnet Carre Spillway to protect New Orleans from flooding. The spillway was completed in 1931 and has bee opened 15 times. Four of those openings have been between 2018 and 2020........

Just as the corn and soybean harvests are nearing their peak, the resiliency of the inland waterway system is being put to the test in the wake of Hurricanes Ida and Nicholas.
According to Ken Erikson, senior vice president-agribusiness at IHS Markit, the effects of Hurricanes Ida and Nicholas have been considerably worse than Katrina, but they have also boosted barge rates.
The barge rates are increasing as the harvest continues and equipment is being repaired. Erikson says that fortunately, there is plenty of storage capacity as an active export year has resulted in low September stocks of corn and soybeans.......

Mississippi River At St. Louis, Missouri Truss Installed On Merchants Bridge From Barges........
On September 17th, a milestone was reached on the $222 million project to replace the Merchants Bridge spanning the Mississippi River at St. Louis, Missouri, when crew hoisted the first of three trusses into place from river barges.
The Merchants Bridge dates back to 1890 and carries six Class I railroads and Amtrak across the Mississippi River and is one of the nation's primary east-west rail corridors. The span's replacement is one of the St. Louis Metro region's top infrastructure priorities.
The span, owned by the Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis, required rebuilding because of speed, clearance and load restrictions. The project involves the removal and replacement of the three river span trusses, seismically retrofitting the existing river piers and making improvements to the east approach........

Green Boating News Ingenity Electric Believes Rapid Charging Station Installations Will Speed Adoption Of Electric Boats........
The adoption of electric boats and their required rapid charging stations presents a double-edged sword of sorts, as consumers would likely purchase e-boats if they have a place to charge them, however, marinas won't install charging stations until enough e-boats are on the water to use them.
Ingenity Electric, a project of Correct Craft's Watershed Innovation division is working to solve the problem by creating a baseline standard for fast charging technology that may be used with boats from a variety of manufacturers.
In Mid-May, Ingenity Electric assisted in the installation of the first electric boat charging station on Lake Tahoe, California. The station utilized Combined Charging System technology, which Ingenity is betting will become the industry standard foe e-boat manufacturers and marina charging stations........

Mississippi River At Grafton, Illinois Celebrate The New Year With Grafton's Fireworks........
There are plenty of ways to ring in the new year. If you happen to be in Grafton, there will be a fireworks display along the city's riverfront beginning around 10 pm.
Grafton Mayor Mike Morrow says that it isn't too early to begin planning your New Year's Eve festivities. He adds that they are hoping to bring people into town during what is usually a slow time in the tourism industry.
This will be the second year that there has been a fireworks display along the riverfront on New Year's Eve. The Grafton City Council voted to spend $4,500 on the show; half to be paid by the general fund and the other half to be paid by the tourism budget. They will also ask businesses to pitch in........

US Waterways Abandoned Mine Cleanups Will Benefit Streams, Rivers........
There are thousands of abandoned coal mines dotting the Appalachian mountains, the Rocky Mountains as well as across the Midwest. These sites have been polluting streams and rivers for decades, harming fish and contaminating drinking water.
Efforts to clean these sites up may soon get a boost, as $11.3 million for the cleanup of defunct coal mines was slipped into infrastructure bill passed by the Senate.
Under the Surface Mining and Reclamation Act of 1977, which sought to remedy the unregulated coal mining that left abandoned mines across the nation, fees from mining companies were used for site cleanups.
The new funding would go towards cleaning up sites dating prior to 1977, as mining companies are now required to clean up sites once mining is completed........

Boat Gear Manufacturer Garmin Introduced Surround View........
Garmin recently introduced their new Surround View system, which utilizes six high-definition cameras mounted around the boat to provide an overhead 360 degree view from the helm via a compatible Garmin multifunction display.
Vice President of global consumer sales, Dan Bartel says that the Surround View takes the comfort and convenience customers rely upon in their vehicles and applies it to their boat, allowing the captain to see as much of the surrounding area for easier maneuvering.
Bartel adds that this is the first marine camera system to offer a true bird's eye view, offering a unique vantage point that can help reduce the stress of docking and navigating narrow passages, marinas and busy channels........

Fall Colors The Riverbend Is Preparing For The Color Change........

Mississippi River At Houma, Louisiana The Delta Queen Sustained Damage From Hurricane Ida.........
While the Delta Queen did not sustain major structural damage from Hurricane Ida, the heavy winds did cause some damage. The Delta Queen Steamboat Company announced on September 15th that the floating National Historic Landmark endured winds in excess of 150 MPH for over an hour.
Hurricane Ida's winds tore away the waterproofing membrane on the roof as well as several sections of hand railing along the stern. About a dozen windows were broken and several doors were damaged.
The shore power connections that bring electricity to the Delta Queen were destroyed and the boarding stage was severely damaged. The company added that the Delta Queen held up well, all things considered, and she is a true testimony to the Quality of her builder's craftsmanship more than 90 years ago.........

Mississippi River At Alton, Illinois Alton Marina, Boaters Begin Winterization........
Summer is winding down, and boaters, as well as the staff at the Alton Marina are beginning to take care of some of the end-of-season tasks, including winterizing the marina and boats.
Greg Brown, the Harbormaster at the Alton Marina has worked for the marina since 2013 and served in many roles along the Mississippi River since 1975. He says that not winterizing is not an option.
Brown and his crew will need to drain the marina's pool and add antifreeze to the pool's plumbing. They will also have to blow out the marina's irrigation system, the plumbing system under the docks as well as the two waste pumps........

Fall Colors Where and When Illinois' Fall Colors Will Peak........
For many people, checking out the changing colors of the foliage is a favorite fall activity. The only question is when will the fall color change will peak in the Midwest.
The crew over at SmokyMountains.com have updated their predictive fall foliage map in order to give leaf peepers a better way to plan their color watching excursions.
The 2021 Fall Foliage Prediction Map indicates that northern Illinois will begin to see a minimal amount of color change by this week. Over the coming week, the northern reaches of Illinois will see a lot more color, and the leaves in central and southern Illinois will begin to change........

Fall Colors Predictions Missouri
Missouri Department of Conservation foresters update "Fall Color" reports weekly from mid-September through early-November.
The peak of fall color in Missouri is usually around
mid-October. This is when maples, ashes, oaks, and hickories are at the
height of their fall display. Normally by late October, the colors are
fading and the leaves beginning to drop from the trees. Fall color is
usually finished by the middle of November.

Mississippi River Shipping Grain Exports Halted Temporarily by Hurricanes Ida and Nicholas........
Over the past two weeks, the one-two punch of Hurricanes Ida and Nicholas have slowed or stopped grain exports from ports located in Texas and Louisiana.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reports that barged grain for the week ending August 28 had decreased 28 percent from the previous week and 69 percent from a year ago due to hurricane preparation.
After Hurricane Ida passed on September 4th, the Mississippi River was reopened relatively quickly to river traffic, albeit with restrictions. The Gulf Intracoastal Waterway is open, however, traffic is slowed........

Boat Manufacturer Boston Whaler Celebrates 50 Years Of The Outrage........
Boston Whaler recently celebrated 50 years of manufacturing their Outrage model with a celebration in Quincy, Massachusetts. The event included the display of the first Outrage ever built and their new 420 model.
Outrage Hull No. 001 is owned by the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Boston Whaler founder Richard Fisher sold the 21 foot Outrage to the Marine Biological Laboratory in 1971, where it and three other Boston Whalers conduct their studies.
David Remsen, director of marine operations for the Marine Biological Laboratory says that the vessel has been constantly operating since 1971. He adds that the boat has been used as a workboat, it hasn't been pampered........
