<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 24, 2012) Construction of the giant hydropower dam near Massena in the 1950s forever tamed the once-wild St. Lawrence River. It allowed engineers to harness the river&apos;s natural ebb and flow for energy production and to protect homes and ports at the same time. But in the process, it hurt the indigenous plants and animals that depend on those highs and lows to survive.The environmental group Save The River has been leading a charge to persuade the agency that controls water levels to return more natural ebbs and flows to the St. Lawrence. One way is by giving the younger generation of River residents a &quot;hands-on&quot; lesson.

<title>International St. Lawrence River Control Board lowers water levels...but how low will they go?</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 27, 2011) This spring’s rain has left water levels on Lake Ontario well above normal—higher than the International St Lawrence River Board of Control is comfortable with. To fix the problem, the board earlier this month started letting more water out at the Moses-Saunders dam in Massena. That means some areas of the St. Lawrence will be seeing low water levels. That has some worried about the boating season.Nora Flaherty has more.

<title>As politicians line up against Canada boat fine, border agency looks to clarify rules.</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 24, 2011) The US Department of State said on Tuesday that Canadian Border Officials were “well within their rights” when they threatened to seize an American fisherman’s boat and fined him $1000 in May. It said the officials were just enforcing their rule that boats entering Canadian waters - not simply in transit - must report in on special phones located in marinas and other locations on land. But politicians on both sides of the border are lining up against the move.If you are on the river and are in doubt about whether you need to check in with Canadian Customs, call 204-983-3500.
