Added Sunday Mississippi River Management Project To Track Plastic Waste In The River........
Currently, efforts are underway to track plastic waste in the Mississippi RIver. Colin Wellenlamp, the Executive Director of the Mississippi River Cities and Towns Initiative says that they are trying to keep plastic out of the Mississippi River in the first place.
On Saturday, several groups teamed up to deploy GPS bottle tags into the Mississippi River. The bottle tags resemble a water bottle with am antenna attached.
Researcher Jenna Jambeck says that the bottle tags will tell researchers more about the transport of plastic waste down the Mississippi River. Jambeck has been studying waterway pollution for years, and has focused primarily on the GPS bottle tags in recent years........

Added Sunday Water Safety Dock Shock Is A Serious Threat To Swimmers.......
There is a silent and invisible killer lurking in the water near docks that can pull you under instantly with no hope of escaping. We are not talking about an animal predator, but stray electrical current in the water.
Electricity in the water is not visible to the naked eye, and without a meter or an alert system, it is not possible to know if water around a dock id electrified or not.
Dave Hotz, the inventor of Dock Lifeguard, a popular electricity detection device that got it's start at the Lake of the Ozarks says that electricity cannot be seen or heard, and prior to his invention of the Dock Lifeguard, it was a leap of faith whenever someone jumps into the water.........

Kaskaskia River Near Red Bud, Illinois Corps Completed Kaskaskia River Harbor Determination........
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has wrapped up their federal interest determination for the Kaskaskia Regional Port District No. 2 Harbor, allowing them to proceed to the next step: a complete study to weigh options for dredging the silted-in oxbow.
When the Kaskaskia Regional Port District first developed the site, they were able to fleet 20 barges at that location. Now, the area is too shallow to fleet any barges.
The Corps has determined that they will evaluate five alternatives in order to determine the best combination of uses and the associated costs for dredging the oxbow........

Savannah River Near Savannah, Georgia Cannons, Anchor Discovered While Dredging........
In late February, crewmembers from Weeks Marine made a rare and archaeologically significant find while dredging in Savannah, Harbor. They uncovered an anchor, a timber and several cannons, all likely dating to before the Civil War.
Billy Birdwell, acting chief of communications & senior public affairs specialist for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Savannah District, stated that while the contractor was conducting clamshell dredging operations, they found these artifacts while screening the maintenance material, due to the close proximity of the previously recovered CSS Georgia.
The CSS Georgia was a steam powered Confederate ironclad constructed in 1862. The vessel saw little to no action during the Civil War, and ended up being scuttles by Confederate forces in 1864 after Savannah fell to Union Major General William T. Sherman's forces. In 1968, the wreck was discovered and marked after being struck by a dredge. Recovery efforts began in 2015 as part of the early stages of the Savannah Harbor deepening project........

Flood Insurance IDNR: Look Into Purchasing Flood Insurance........
Officials in Illinois are calling for residents that do not have flood insurance to consider adding the coverage. So far this year, Illinois has not been hit with heavy rainfall, however, it could happen.
Rachel Torbert, spokesperson for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources says that now is the perfect time to sign up for flood insurance, as most policies take 30 days to go into effect.
Torbert added that the Federal Emergency Management Agency website has flood maps that can help determine if your property is located in a high-risk area. Currently, the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers are about a foot out of their banks in Alton, Grafton and Hardin........

Mississippi River At St. Louis, Missouri Take A Look Back At The Flood Of '73........
When people discuss flooding events in St. Louis, the Great Flood of 1993 typically comes to mind. There was another three-month-long flooding disaster in St. Louis, the Flood of 1973.
Spring saw the Mississippi River rising to heights not seen before, and all of that water caused a series of levee failures .On March 10, 1973, the Mississippi RIver went above flood stage and would remain above flood stage until May 26tth.
By April, sandbagging efforts were in full swing, and the U.S. Coast Guard had an important message for boaters along the Meramec and Illinois Rivers: Slow Down........

Upper Mississippi River Anglers Reel In Asian Carp........
Last week, approximately 30 Asian carp were reeled in from the Mississippi River, indicating the possibility that the invasive species has established a foothold in Minnesota waters.
The grass and silver carp were caught in the shallow backwaters of Mississippi River Pool 8 near La Crosse, Wisconsin, just above the southernmost Lock and Dam in Minnesota.
Last spring, over 50 Asian carp were caught in the same pool, and earlier this year, another 14 Asian carp were caught. Ben Larson, the invasive carp field lead for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources says that all of the fish were adults........

News Release From BoatUS
3. The earth may be 71% water, but it’s no place for trash. Always have a trash receptacle aboard, and when underway ensure nothing goes overboard. (A waste can with a closable lid helps.) A second receptacle for recyclables also helps honor
Earth Day and make cleanup easier at the end
of the boating day.
4. Prevent a spill by
refueling your boat with care. Always have an absorbent pad,
fuel nozzle absorbent “donut,” or “bib” (to soak up back
splashes) when you pump. Actively listen to fuel being dispensed
into the fuel nozzle receptacle. Slow down the dispensing pump
as fuel reaches the top of the tank – usually when you start to
hear bubbling or gurgling noises rising from the fuel filler
tube. Refuel portable tanks ashore. 5. Help keep discarded fishing line and soft baits out of the water by building a fishing line recycling bin and placing it in your community. To learn how, go to BoatUS.org/Monofilament.

The first picture is looking up-river and I think the island lined up with the cross is Piasa Island. click here for Google map |

Boater Safety Safety Checks........
Prior to the pandemic, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary and U.S. Power Squadrons performed over 150,000 vessel safety inspections annually at boat ramps, boat clubs and marinas.
BoatUS reports that this year, both groups are mobilizing personnel following requests for safety checks. Boaters can also perform the safety checks themselves.
Boaters wishing to conduct their own vessel safety check can use an online guide and a downloadable checklist that is similar to those used by volunteer vessel examiners. The only catch is that in order to get a vessel safety check decal to display on board can only be acquired by having the in-person vessel safety check performed........

Upcoming Events Wednesday April 14, 2021 Mississippi River At Cape Girardeau, Missouri Cape Celebrating Completion Of Floodwall Upgrades.........
This week, the City of Cape Girardeau and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District will be celebrating the completion of a $20 million project that was started over a decade ago to help guarantee the floodwall will be around for at least the next 50 years.
At 11 am Wednesday morning, a ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held near the Merriwether Pump Station to commemorate the multi-year project that city officials said would "enhance the reliability" of the floodwall.
The work included the installation of rip-rap, refurbishment of pumps and motors at both pump stations, the rehabilitation of several flood wall sections, the replacement of toe-drain pipe and the extension of pipe for the Merriwether Pump Station discharge outlet........

Illinois Ports State Announces Port Funding........
On Monday, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Transportation announced that there will be $110 million in funding for making improvements to public ports across the state. The funding is provided via the bipartisan Rebuild Illinois capitol plan.
The Illinois Department of Transportation is calling for project proposals for improving public ports as well as proposals for modernizing and revitalizing Illinois' marine transportation system. All 19 of Illinois' public ports are eligible to apply for the grants.
Governor Pritzker says that Illinois is already a global hub for the nation's commerce and transportation, and the funds will allow the state's ports to build upon that status to further establish the state as a national hub for the shipping and logistics industry while creating earning opportunities for residents........

click pic to enlarge
YesterYears Picture of this Day in
2015.....
Were sent to us by Dave McMahan Bill and friends of pool 26,
We met these 6 young men who are paddling from the Gulf to the Arctic Ocean. They stopped at Sherwood Harbor, had some beers and good times.
Jarred, Adam, Luke, Winchell, Dan, and John.
Great young men that work helping troubled youths and took time off to go up the great Mississippi River. They are pulling out tomorrow morning.
Thanks, Dave, Sue, Jim, Dorothy, and Tommy
RiveBill says.... The guys continued paddling north up the Mississippi River and various other rivers and lakes of the United State and Canada finally arriving on the shores of the Arctic Ocean in September 2015. They paddled 5200 miles, 244 days. |

Mississippi River History Did Deforestation Lead To Cahokia Flooding?
According to new research from Washington University in St. Louis, whatever ultimately caused the Mississippian people to abandon Cahokia, their departure was not caused by deforestation.
Archaeologists excavated near the earthen mounds and studied sediment core samples in order to test an enduring theory about the collapse of Cahokia, the pre-Columbian Native American city that was once home to some 15,000 people.
No one is certain why Cahokia was abandoned, but one popular theory is that Native Americans from densely populated Cahokia deforested the region, which could have lead to erosion and localized flooding........
