In 2007 the USFWS began identifying water resource concerns on refuges (e.g., baseline information, minimum flows, need for hydrologists, water control issues, levees, etc.). This prompted a water study started in 2008 on several refuges with USGS (Gary Buell) that is still ongoing. The study is meant to assess water issues related to the quantity and timing of flow on some southeastern refuges originally identified as having critical water resource needs: Cahaba River NWR (Alabama), Cache River NWR (Arkansas), White River NWR (Arkansas), Lower Suwanee NWR (FL), Caloosahatchee NWR (FL) and Ding Darling NWR (FL). Information from this study is being compiled (including information on Cahaba NWR) and it is being applied to the WRIAs. Also in 2008, the USFWS created a national water team to address water issues nationwide. They began putting together a water resources assessment (precursor to WRIA) and the template was used as the basis for the WRIAs. In 2009 Eastern and Western climate change water teams were assembled and charged to assess Service needs related to water and climate change, as well as to identify refuges where water quantity and quality issues are important concerns. There are several initiatives going on right now, Cahaba NWR WRIA kick-off meeting summary - Page 3 of 7 related to water. The USFWS Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) group is now helping to integrate these previous efforts in a more organized way. Specifically for Cahaba NWR, the WRIA process was actually started in 2009 with the Refuge Manager at the time (Steve Miller) which included a site visit. The process is now being rejuvenated and moving forward. Sarah Clardy (FWS – Cahaba River NWR Manager) Introduction to Cahaba River NWR: The refuge was established on September 25, 2002 (celebrating 10 years this fall); Sarah has been refuge manager since Oct 2011. Cahaba River NWR is administered together with Watercress Darter NWR and Mountain Longleaf NWR, all in Alabama. There are 11 refuges in AL. Cahaba NWR was established to conserve and protect water quality for aquatic species, and to manage and restore longleaf pine. Improving recreational access is also a management goal. Recreation includes water recreation, hunting, fishing, nature observation & photography. Cahaba NWR is very biologically rich, so managing biodiversity is very important. 3600 acres currently, within a 7600-acre acquisition boundary. The history of the land now protected as Cahaba NWR includes coal mining. It was last mined in the 1950s (maybe into the 1970s). Mining included underground and surface mining. There are remnant rock walls from strip mining and spoils and the refuge is in the midst of putting together a reclamation project (100 acres) to push the spoils “hill” toward the “high wall” to restore the area’s hydrology and to fill a mine shaft which is leaching arsenic and strontium. At times the mine shaft is completely flooded and at other times it is without water. o QUESTION: How much water is entering the mine shaft, and leaching out? . DATA / SUPPORT NEED: sampling methodology to evaluate impact and effectiveness of restoration actions. Follow-up w/FWS Contaminants Program. The area’s coal is notorious for arsenic, nickel and high strontium levels. One- time soil samples were collected at 3 locations and other samples are planned to be collected as reclamation proceeds. Guidance is needed for sampling protocol(s) to evaluate restoration activity effectiveness. Discussion: Jeff Powell suggested using ground penetrating radar or other techniques now available to evaluate extensiveness of underground mine shaft(s) within refuge boundaries. Need contact(s) o FOR FOLLOW UP: Other sampling done by ADEM and GSA that might be useful. The reclamation project should begin in winter 2012-13. Sarah has GIS layers of the mine location & reclamation project limits. Timber production is also part of the refuge’s history with abundant loblolly pine plantations remaining. These are being managed to slowly restore to longleaf pine. Some clear-cutting and longleaf planting has been done and now controlled burning is needed. Paul Freeman (TNC) Overview of Cahaba River: The Cahaba River drains 1800 sq miles and flows 191 miles, with the upper half above the fall line and the lower half within the coastal plain. Elevations range from 100-900 feet within the Cahaba NWR WRIA kick-off meeting summary - Page 4 of 7 watershed. The headwaters are located north of Birmingham. The upstream area is a wide, shallow stream through bedrock shoals, then bluffs. In the downstream area (coastal plain) the river includes oxbow lakes, blackbelt chalk and prairie cliffs. The Cahaba is one of the longest freeflowing rivers in Alabama with only one reservoir (Lake Purdy in Birmingham on the L. Cahaba). Historically there were mill dams and small dams on the mainstem but most have been removed or breached. There is still a dam at Highway 280 in Birmingham that was built 100 years ago to stabilize the pool for drinking water withdrawals and is still being maintained to manage water levels in the river. It is 15 feet high, backs up water for 3.5 miles upstream and has a non-functioning fish ladder. It is the only significant remaining structure on the main branch of the Cahaba River. There are 135 species of fish in the Cahaba. Migratory and diadromous fish are declining in the river. There are several listed fish species, and some species may be extirpated. The Cahaba River is in the top 5-10 rivers in the US for total freshwater mussel species abundance, with 38 of 48 spp. previously identified in the Cahaba believed to still be present, although reproduction and recruitment is thought to be declining for many mussel species.

  • 2016-2017 Annual Report
    2016-2017 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Honorable Kay Ivey Governor of Alabama State Capitol Montgomery, AL 36130 Dear Governor Ivey: I am pleased to submit the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2016-17. The Department continues to find more efficient ways to communicate and con- duct business with our constituents. License purchases, special hunt registrations and park lodge and camping reservations are available through our websites, www.outdooralabama.com and www.alapark.com. In addition, we are communi- cating to more than half a million people through email newsletters and notices. Funds derived from the cap on sales tax discounts were restored to State Parks in FY 2017. These funds have provided much-needed relief in addressing the back- log of park maintenance projects. Park guests totaled just under 5 million this fiscal year. The federal management of red snapper and other reef fish continues to be a highly volatile issue within the fishing community. Our Marine Resources Division is working with federal agencies and Congress to provide more state oversight of this fishery and a longer season for anglers. Snapper Check, which continued for the fourth year, is an important part of this effort. The State Lands Division has administered the Coastal Impact Assistance Program (CIAP) on behalf of the State of Alabama since its beginning in 2005. During the life of this program, which closed this year, State Lands administered 49 grants for over $58 million funding various coastal project activities supporting Mobile and Baldwin counties. Participation in the state’s Game Check system for the recording and reporting of both deer and turkey harvests became mandatory during the 2016/2017 hunting seasons.

Checklist of the Inland Fishes of Louisiana Abstract Since the publication of Freshwater Fishes of Louisiana (Douglas, 1974) and a revised checklist (Douglas and Jordan, 2002), much has changed regarding knowledge of inland fishes in the state. An updated reference on Louisiana’s inland and coastal fishes is long overdue. Inland waters of Louisiana are home to at least 224 species (165 primarily freshwater, 28 primarily marine, and 31 euryhaline or diadromous) in 45 families. This checklist is based on a compilation of fish collections records in Louisiana from 19 data providers in the Fishnet2 network (www.fishnet2.net).

ZooKeys 874: 31–45. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.874.35618 Abstract Species checklists and dichotomous keys are valuable tools that provide many services for ecological stud- ies and management through tracking native and non-native species through time. We developed nine drainage basin checklists and dichotomous keys for 196 inland fishes of Texas, consisting of 171 native fishes and 25 non-native fishes. Our checklists were updated from previous checklists and revised using reports of new established native and non-native fishes in Texas, reports of new fish occurrences among drainages, and changes in species taxonomic nomenclature. We provided the first dichotomous keys for major drainage basins in Texas. Among the 171 native inland fishes, 6 species are considered extinct or extirpated, 13 species are listed as threatened or endangered by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and 59 spe- cies are listed as Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) by the state of Texas.
