    I’m writing about the navigation lock in the Atchafalaya River. In 1977, Sidney A. Murray Jr., the mayor of Vidalia, questioned the use of hydroelectric power to help reduce rapidly escalating electricity rates. It ended up with the construction of the world’s largest prefabricated power plant structure. Construction of the 192-megawatt, $520-million power plant began in 1985. Earlier plans allowed the foundation and associated works to be built in the dry at the actual project site, just upriver of the Old River Control complex, at the same time the power plant itself was constructed at Avondale Shipyards in New Orleans.…

    For any angler, how to get to a choice point of fishing is always a concern. In some cases it is necessary to do some traveling up or down a river or a large lake in order to get to the best fishing areas. A boat will also allow you more mobility in locating yourself correctly once you locate a fishing location (so that your shadow does not fall upon the water and spook the fish below). Others never use a motor boat. Since standing up and casting is necessary, some will tell you that your best option is to go for a motor-less rowboat.…

There are a lot of people around the beaches on the blazing hot summer days but as soon as it hits dawn, people are out there fishing too. Some people even stay there all year long to experience very different types of fishing in each season. Fishing boats go out of harbors all day long with people packed to catch stripers in the summer or mackerel in the fall. On these boats, not only will you see packs of fish swimming around trying to get your bait but you will also see whales, sharks, and much more (Fishing Charters on Cape Cod 1).…

    I would request that FERC do a biological opinion and do a consultation, which will most likely lead to a jeopardy opinion, and an injunction. While mitigations such as the fish passage is possible, the effects that the dam will have on the continued shad population will be too significant by blocking fish passage. This is similar to a case between the Tennessee Valley Association v. Hiram Hill, where a dam was being built on the Tennessee River, and a small endangered fish called the snail darter was going to die off if the dam was built. TVA argued that they had already put a lot of money into the dam, it was already close to completion, and the ESA was passed after the dam was built. They also argued that killing this fish would not matter because it is not commercially significant.…

    Salmon numbers in the Columbia River has gone down significantly (Safina). The creation of these dams had opened up the possibility of using water as a renewable and safe alternative for power. It was an attractive prospect, however the way it was (and currently is in some places) creates a strain on the local wildlife and the ecosystem in the water. The decision however to take down the dams is one that requires significant thought. The dams that currently occupy various rivers in the Pacific Northwest generate about half the electricity in the region, while also being practically pollution free (Lillis).…
