Natural Resources
Natural Heritage in the MSNHA The Highland Rim The Muscle Shoals National Heritage Area is located within the Highland Rim section of Alabama. The Highland Rim is the southernmost section of a series low plateaus that are part of the Appalachian Mountains. The Highland Rim is one of Alabama’s five physiographic regions, and is the smallest one, occupying about 7 percent of the state. The Tennessee River The Tennessee River is the largest tributary off the Ohio River. The river has been known by many names throughout its history. For example, it was known as the Cherokee River, because many Cherokee tribes had villages along the riverbank. The modern name of the river is derived from a Cherokee word tanasi, which means “river of the great bend.” The Tennessee River has many dams on it, most of them built in the 20th century by the Tennessee Valley Authority. Due to the creation of these dams, many lakes have formed off the river. One of these is Pickwick Lake, which stretches from Pickwick Landing Dam in Tennessee, to Wilson Dam in the Shoals area. Wilson Lake and Wheeler Lake are also located in the MSNHA. Additionally, Wilson Dam Bear Creek Lakes were created by four TVA constructed dams on Bear Creek and helps manage flood conditions and provides water to residents in North Alabama. Though man-made, these reservoirs have become havens for fish, birds, and plant life and have become an integral part of the natural heritage of North Alabama. The Muscle Shoals region began as port area for riverboats travelling the Tennessee River.

Wilson Dam Spillway Controls Upgrade Muscle Shoals, Alabama
PATTI ENGINEERING Project Experience Study Wilson Dam Spillway Controls Upgrade Muscle Shoals, Alabama Problem The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Wilson Dam was built in 1924 and is the largest hydroelectric plant in the TVA power system. It stands 137 feet high and stretches almost a mile across the Tennessee River. The dam’s spillway consists of 49 gates which are used to control water flow and water levels. The hardware and software used to control the spillway were obsolete and outdated. The situation was so bad that the TVA staff had to manually open the gates across the mile-long dam. The control system was completely nonfunctional. The hardware had failed and there were no replacement parts available and this situation caused the software to constantly fail – it was a huge domino effect. Patti’s Solution Customer Benefits Roger Harvey, TVA engineer, could not find a controls vendor willing to undertake The system is now functioning at 100 percent of its ability. The staff no longer the project. The company that installed the original software was not interested needs to physically go from gate to gate to open them. The new system is a in doing the upgrade and other local vendors politely refused. He found Patti tremendous savings in manpower hours. Engineering by searching on the Internet. Patti Engineering completed a thorough onsite investigation to evaluate the current hardware and software and to recommend the best corrective action. The goal was to improve system functionality, reliability and serviceability. System upgrades included Devicenet IO modules replacement, Devicenet cabling repairs/modifications, control software upgrade, HMI software upgrade, PC replacements, functionality was expanded/enhanced, and complete system was thoroughly tested and verified.

Population Characteristics of Flathead Catfish in the Lower Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway
Population Characteristics of Flathead Catfish in the Lower Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Tyler Stubbs, Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks, 272 CR 995, Tupelo, MS 38804 Jason Olive,1 Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks, 272 CR 995, Tupelo, MS 38804 Nathan Martin, Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks, 272 CR 995, Tupelo, MS 38804 Charles Watts, Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks, 272 CR 995, Tupelo, MS 38804 Abstract: Flathead catfish (Pylodictus olivaris) populations were sampled in three northeastern Mississippi reservoirs (Aberdeen, Columbus, and Alicev- ille) along the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway to evaluate stock characteristics. Specifically, data were collected on relative abundance, growth, mortal- ity, recruitment, and size structure. These samples were part of a statewide effort to document current population status in reservoirs and to develop management goals. Sampling was conducted in late summer (July–August) during 2011–2013 using low-frequency electrofishing. All fish 250 mm total length and greater were aged using pectoral spine sections. Relative abundance (fish km–1) was higher in Aliceville Lake (12.56 fish km–1) than in Aber- deen Lake (7.54 fish km–1) or Columbus Lake (7.37 fish km–1), but length-frequency distributions, growth and annual mortality rates, and recruitment variation of flathead catfish were similar among reservoirs. This is in contrast to downstream gradients of fish population metrics typically observed in river ecosystems, which could be due to habitat homogenization resulting from navigation-related anthropogenic activities. Key words: age, recruitment, growth, electrofishing, pectoral spine Journal of the Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies 2:86–92 Recent nationwide surveys indicated catfish (family: Ictaluri- sippi rivers (Holley 2006, Marshall et al.

Asian Carp Distribution on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, Mississippi
Asian Carp Distribution on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, Mississippi Tyler Stubbs1 & Dennis Riecke2 1 Miss. Dept. of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks – Tupelo 2 Miss. Dept. of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks – Jackson Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Pickwick Lake Silver Carp in Pickwick The first known Silver Carp was first seen in Pickwick Lake in 2012 in Bear Creek. Commercial anglers notified MDWFP of their catch in July. The fish was caught in MS waters. Silver Carp in Pickwick Based on commercial anglers, catch rates have steadily increased and distribution has widened to include most of the lake. Silver Carp have been seen as a seasonal fishery from April through October in MS waters. Currently, laws in Alabama do not allow for commercial angling with the use of nets in their waters. It is presumed that Silver Carp over-winter in Alabama. eDNA sampling eDNA sampling was conducted in 2015. Sampling was conducted by the USFWS’ Carterville, IL office and MDWFP fisheries personnel. Sampling areas in MS included parts of Bay Springs Lake and Lock E on the TTW and Bear Creek. eDNA Sampling Telemetry Project In 2015 a telemetry project was initiated. Objectives: Determine the seasonal movements of Silver Carp in Mississippi waters of Pickwick Lake. Determine if there is any evidence of the inter- basin transfer from the Tennessee River drainage into the Tombigbee River drainage via the Tenn-Tom Waterway. Determine population size and structure. Telemetry Project Sampling is being done with the help of the USFWS’ Private John Allen National Fish Hatchery personnel from Tupelo, MS. Commercial anglers are also providing assistance when available.
