Missouri River Recovery Program Activities to restore some of the Missouri River ecosystem's natural form and function are under way The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and the U.S.

Although the river will never be brought back to the wild, untamed form encountered by Lewis and Clark, its ecosystem can be revitalized for the benefit of all the basin's inhabitants. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), in partnership with Tribal nations, states and other agencies, continue working together to develop and implement recovery actions. Here are two examples of how the Corps works col

laboratively for river recovery:

The USFWS developed a Biological Opinion to protect the three threatened and endangered species that depend on the Missouri River. The Corps developed a substantial Mitigation Project to acquire the land needed to develop fish and wildlife habitat from Sioux City, Iowa, to St. Louis, Missouri. The foundation of the Recovery Program stands on four pillars:

* Habitat Creation
* Flow Modifications
* Science
* Public Involvement
