Remedial measures have been used by the Environmental Management Program (EMP) to restore and enhance aquatic habitat at a variety of locations on the Upper Mississippi River System.

This project attempted to quantify waterfowl and wading bird use at a series of potholes created at Potters Marsh in Upper Mississippi River, Pool 13. Waterfowl consistently used the potholes during March July 1996, with nearly 80% of the use during the spring migration. Nesting and brooding activity in the vicinity of the potholes was minimal...
