The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is pleased to present this balanced, comprehensive guidebook to help teachers inform future decision-makers about this important natural resource.
Our Mississippi has been years in the making. In 1986, Congress designated the Upper Mississippi River System as
both a nationally significant ecosystem and a nationally significant navigation system. Since then, the Corps has worked with multiple groups and agencies to improve the economic and environmental sustainability of the river.
This guidebook is a result of several different programs and partnerships that included other federal agencies, five states, and a wide variety of environmental, conservation, navigation, and industry groups to strike that ever-crucial balance of human and wildlife interests.
