What backs it

American Rivers, as a primary advocate, helped secure the Congressional creation of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Missouri River Recovery Program, which has delisted the interior least tern and is completing levee-setbacks across the 166,750-acre floodplain restoration project approved under the Bank Stabilization and Navigation Project Fish & Wildlife Mitigation Project.

Worth noting

Over halfway remains to complete the full 166,750 acres of Missouri River floodplains approved for acquisition and restoration.
