You still have the opportunity to express your thoughts on the eight authorized purposes of the Mo River and how the MRAPS process should proceed. It's critically important that the COE hear from you. This is the first opportunity to affect change on the Mo. River and have the Missouri River managed in a more fish and wildlife and environmentally friendly way that will also benefit recreation and people throughout the basin. Go to: http://www.mraps.org http://www.mraps.org comments will be accepted through September 20th. The survey only takes a few minutes to complete and your comments to the COE are very important. We need to take advantage of this opportunity as a waterfowling community.
Pure and simple. If you want to see more habitat restored along one of our historical migratory corridors now is the Time to speak up and speak loudly! Again pass this on to your friends and family. EAVERYONES HELP IS NEEDED HERE TO RESTORE VITAL HABITAT THAT HAS BEEN LOST. Some wish to keep barge navigation as top priority but if you look at the facts the industry has not materialized as some thought it would. As an example, in the last 7 years 1 barge has come up river into Iowa. 1 should we allow navigation to be a priority that it isnt and yet still negatively effect 188k acres of lost habitat? Hundreds of migratory species have been negatively effected by past management and hundreds of native species have been impacted by past management OF NAVIGATION. It is time to take back and restore our River and the associated habitats that have long since been lost. Make no mistake your help and support is very vital. Take the time and respond to the COE survey on the management. Again I thank you all for your time and your support IN RESTORING OUR GREAT RIVER!
