Missouri River Near St. Charles, Missouri Reconnecting Rivers To Floodplains Key In Urban Areas........
Cora Island is a 1,400 acre section of former farmland located along the Missouri River. It was made into an island by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, who dug a channel in an effort to reconnect the Missouri River to it's floodplain.
The water along the river side of the island flows on towards the confluence with the Mississippi River, while the water in the Corps' channel calmly fills wetlands and copses of willow and cottonwood trees.
The Cora Island project is part of the Big Muddy Fish and Wildlife Refuge, a statewide flood control and environmental protection project managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at 17 locations along the Missouri River........

Added Sunday Missouri History A Look At The Little River Drainage District........
While it may be hard to believe today, but there was a time when swamplands covered more than a million acres in the Missouri Bootheel area, which produced the \term "Swampeast Missouri"
According to Kenneth R. Olsen, a professor of soil science at the University of Illinois-Urbana, American river lowlands and swamps were considered to be wastelands that are of no value for development.
The Little River Drainage District is some 620,000 acres across seven Southeastern Missouri Counties. Historian Frank Nickell says that if the Little River Drainage District did not exist, the region would have reverted back to swampland........

Metro East Flooding East St. Louis Residents Stuck In A Flood Plain........
The residents of an East St. Louis neighborhood say that they are living on a street that never dries. Terrace Drive is located adjacent to Harding Ditch, which is a 100 year old drainage canal that stretches for miles before joining the Mississippi River.
Other nearby neighborhoods have been bought out by the government and the houses torn down. The land that remains always seems to be underwater. FEMA will not buy out Terrace Drive, however, as that cannot get the leaders of East St. Louis to approve the buyout.
Illinois Senator Dick Durbin toured the area back in April, and promised to dedicate resources and maintenance to help keep Harding Ditch clear. No representatives from East St. Louis met with the Senator........

Boat Sales Despite Backlogs, Shortages, Boat Sales Soaring........
According to preliminary data released by Statistical Surveys, there is a near-crazed demand for new boats. With 31 states representing approximately 63 percent of the U.S. boating market, registrations were up 55 percent during March in the main powerboat categories and 34 percent on a year-over-year basis.
The comparisons to March 2020 may be a bit skewed because of the COVID-related shutdowns and work-from-home orders, however, they do reflect a pattern established over the past several months with no signs of slowing down.
Across the recreational boating industry, total registrations were up 44 percent year-over-year, with 46,407 boats sold. For March, registrations for all categories tallied up to 22,238, a 67 percent jump over the same period last year........

Ohio River Near Brookport, Illinois Former Lock & Dam 52 Property To Be Transferred To Metropolis-Massac Port Authority........
Later this year, the former Lock & Dam 52 property located along the Ohio River near Brookport, Illinois will be transferred to the Metropolis-Massac Port Authority. The deed transfer will take place once the final contract for the dam demolition has been fulfilled.
Scott Garrett, the Metropolis-Massac Executive Director said that they have had their eyes on the Dam 52 property for quite some time. THe port authority has been around since 2009, but has never had any tangible assets.
Once the port authority takes possession of the property, they will own 19.1 acres of land at Ohio River Mile Marker 938.9, with approximately 1,800 feet of river frontage. THe board will consider lease options on parts of the property, but they are not interested in operating a riverport........

Cruising News Norwegian May Avoid Florida Over Vaccination Checks........
On Thursday, Frank Del Rio, CEO of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd announced that Florida's new law that prohibits businesses from asking whether employees or customers have been vaccinated against COVID-19 may cause the company to halt operations in Florida.
Del Rio says that if they cannot operate in the state of Florida for whatever reason, there are other states that Norwegian operates from. He adds that they can operate out of the Caribbean for a ship that would have gone to Florida.
Last month, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed an executive order banning the use of COVID-19 passports in the state. He says that a person's personal choice regarding vaccinations will be protected and no business or government entity will be able to deny you services based upon their decision........

The Picture on this Day in 2015 .... was sent to us by Capt'n Ken Longar who hails out of the Yacht Club of St. Louis
Bill,
I just spent the afternoon riding up and down the river with my
son. It put me in a reminiscent mood. This old photo is of my
Dad, my Uncle Pam (Elsworth Black) AKA Blackie and I believe the
guy on the left is Harvey Hatfield of Elsberry, MO- a true river
rat. Harvey took his living from the river in a little fishing
camp just out of Elsberry. My uncle Pam (Blackie) had a cabin
just down stream from Hatfield's place that we got to in our old
wooden boats with 5 HP or maybe a 7.5 HP outboard. As a little
guy I thought it took for ever to get there.

People have been setting and breaking the record for fastest
paddle down the Mississippi River since 1937. The record is

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is working on rebuilding Atchison County Levee L-536, which was breached during the flood of 2019. They are not just repairing the damaged section, but instead, they are constructing a new levee set further inland to give the river more room to roam.
This change is historic, and has been the recommendation pushed by scientists and river experts for over a century. THe move could be considered common sense, in that if a levee protecting farmland and an interstate is repeatedly overtopped, shouldn't it be moved back?
Typically that hasn't happened with this levee, nor the thousands of others along the Missouri River in the 10 states that make up the Missouri RIver Basin........

Mississippi Speed Record....
People have been setting and breaking the record for fastest
paddle down the Mississippi River since 1937. The record is
recognized by the Guinness World Records under the title
“Fastest Time to Row the Length of the Mississippi River by a
Team”. Most of the teams that have set the world record have
done so in a canoe, though per the guidelines issued by Guinness
a scull, rowing boat, kayak or canoe would be permissible.
Note....... There are 2 different groups currently traveling down the Mississippi trying to break the speed record. One passed thru he St. Louis area a few days ago.

Mississippi Speed Record....
People have been setting and breaking the record for fastest
paddle down the Mississippi River since 1937. The record is
recognized by the Guinness World Records under the title
“Fastest Time to Row the Length of the Mississippi River by a
Team”. Most of the teams that have set the world record have
done so in a canoe, though per the guidelines issued by Guinness
a scull, rowing boat, kayak or canoe would be permissible.
Note....... There are 2 different groups currently traveling down the Mississippi trying to break the speed record. One passed thru he St. Louis area a few days ago.

Net income ended up as $35.1 million, which is a 47.2 percent increase. Gross profits were up significantly as well, increasing by 57 percent to $72 million.

Ohio River Near Olmstead, Illinois Riverbank Eroding, Landowners, Corps At Odds Over Cause........
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and property owners along the Ohio River near Olmstead, Illinois both agree that there is riverbank erosion occurring, but they are at odds as to why it is happening.
According to resident and Air Force Veteran, Sandra Thornton claims that the replacement of two locks and dams with the Olmstead Lock and Dam has sped up the erosion. Thornton says other factors including the placement of four large barge mooring cells, a relocated boat ramp and the propulsion systems of passing tows increase the erosion.
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville DIstrict Commander Colonel Eric Crispino and his crew say that high water in 2018 and 2019 is the cause of erosion, and that was coincidental to the Olmstead Locks opening, which took place on September 6, 2018........

Cruising News Oceangoing Cruises Still Tied Up.... River Cruises Underway....
In early April, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updates their "Framework for Conditional Sailing Order" with new recommendations for travelers returning from cruise ships and river cruise ships worldwide.
In an article dated April 12, 2021, the CDC recommends that all people avoid traveling on cruise ships, including river cruises worldwide, due to the chance of getting COVID-19 on cruise ships is high since the virus seems to spread more easily aboard a close-quarters ship.
The article then goes on to list recommendations for people returning from cruises; vaccinated passengers should be tested for COVID-19 between 3-5 days after a cruise, isolate if positive. Regardless of test result, self monitor for 14 days. Vaccinated passengers don't need to self-quarantine.
Passengers that are not fully vaccinated are recommended to follow the same testing protocols, however, they should self-quarantine for sever days after cruise travel even if you test negative. If you don't get tested, you should self-quarantine for 10 days after cruise travel........

The good news is that a group of national nonprofit organizations and preservationists have suggested a few ways that the National Park Service can start to clean the Arch's stainless steel skin.

Detroit River Near Grosse Ile, Michigan 240 Pound Sturgeon Amongst Largest Caught, Recorded........
Last week, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service crew caught a 240 pound sturgeon. It is among the largest ever caught in the United States. The fish was 6 feet, 10 inches long, with a girth of close to 4 feet. The sturgeon is a native, and threatened, species in Michigan.
The sturgeon was caught by a crew of 3 in a boat near Grosse Ile in the Detroit River. In addition to the essential photos, the crew measured and tagged the female fish prior to releasing it. Before catching the monster, the only thing they caught was a 5 pound bucket.
The scientists are estimating that the sturgeon had hatched in the Detroit River some time during the 1920s.........
